== Collections ==
The collection of a museum is the ultimate showing of public trust. As such, it is imperative to maintain and develop this collection to it’s fullest potential. The job of a museum is to maintain rightful ownership, make meaningful exhibits and displays, and protect the artifacts the public has entrusted to it.

Thus, the museum ensures that:

* Collection as a whole supports the museums mission and purpose
* Collection is rightfully owned, accessioned, and recorded by the museum
* Any ownership disputes are handled quickly, publicly, and in the best way possible
* Collection should not be used for selling, trading, or events unless it is in the best interest of the museum and its mission.
* Collection should be cared for in the best way possible to preserve and display the artifacts entrusted to the museum
* Collection should be made available to the public for viewing and research under safe conditions.
