Collection Management

The conservators at the Gerald R Ford Conservation Center (a division of the Nebraska State Historical Society) have simplified collection management documents created and used by the Collections Division at the Nebraska State Historical Society.  Please feel free to download these basic templates and reconfigure to the needs of your Nebraska Museum.  The templates are Microsoft Word documents. If you are unable to open them, please contact, karen.keehr@nebraska.gov for pdf versions.

  1. Super
    I have been having questions and this answers some of them.
    Another questions that I have:
    What happens if you have an items(s) that have been here so long and no family members (that we know about) aren’t available to contact. Is their a NEbraska Law or whatever?
    Thanks for the above.

    Your institution does an excellent job.
