Collections Management Policy & Procedures

Of the measurable targets that were striven for the Hopkins Historical Society has achieved, and probably exceeded, the Short-Term goals. The result of the policy being approved was that the Collections Committee has used the document to guide how potential donations are processed. In addition, volunteers and other affiliates have used the document in order to add more details when the donation comes into the museum. Currently the society is moving into the intermediate stages of goals as a better understanding of its collections comes to light. Currently various sub-collections are being analyzed to coordinate a preservation priority list, as well as determine which areas to actively seek out for collections acquiring. Ultimately, once the Hopkins Historical Society conducts an inventory and 100% cataloging projects will the Long-Term goals be achieved.
