All, we are currently reviewing our policies regarding opening our art storage for researchers/scholars. For instance, how many works will we pull? How do we approve requests (do they need to be working on a significant project/publication/research?). Do we allow outside visitors to handle our collection objects, or do we do all the handling, turning, etc. What is the deadline to make a request (2 weeks before their intended visit, etc.?).
If any of you have internal guidelines you would be willing to share, that would be helpful.
Thank you!
