Museum Operation[edit | edit source]
- NPS Museum Handbook: superb overview of museum operations written for people with no prior training; this is an excellent place to start. Combined with the NPS Conserveograms (below), you can gain a well-rounded understanding of how we work. Note that our Collection Management Policy and other Museum policies would supercede anything in the NPS Handbook.
- NPS Disaster Plan: our Museum is currently not well-prepared for disaster management, and this guide is a starting place for understanding the issues. Also note that section 21 of the Conserveograms (below) are all focused on disaster preparation and management.
- ICOM Code of Ethics
Conservation and preservation[edit | edit source]
- NPS Conserveograms: simple, quick guides to almost every area of museum conservation and preservation
- CoOL — Conservation Online: superb resource for a wide range of conservation best practices across many areas
- NEDCC — Northeast Document Conservation Center
