[Nhcoll-l] budgeting for moving a collection

[Colleen Evans]

Hi everyone,

As my institution starts to plan for moving our natural science collections in a few years, does anyone have any guidance or advice for determining a budget for the physical move? Are there specific moving companies or types of movers I should look into? Non-obvious packing or transport supplies? Something else? Note that things such as construction costs and cabinetry are already accounted for. I'm talking the actual packing and transporting between locations.

Thanks in advance! Responses can be sent off-list.

Best,
Colleen
