[Nhcoll-l] Advice for large collections move (EU)

Wed Oct 26 11:45:53 EDT 2022

I have also seen the Chapter 14: Managing a Collection Move: Planning, Packing, and Logistics from the Preventive Conservation collection storage book! I assume this might be a short update version of the Moving the Mountain book.

Thank you Dirk!  You beat me too it.

Bethany, While Moving the Mountain is now 20 years old (how did that happen???), it is still very applicable to a move – of any size.  Rob mentioned the course in Museum Study https://www.museumstudy.com/<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.museumstudy.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7Crinconrodriguezl%40ufl.edu%7C242a5e466bf84f214abb08dab7683a82%7C0d4da0f84a314d76ace60a62331e1b84%7C0%7C0%7C638023955543798041%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=p2gZZeM6JmFKLtJh9%2Fl9WidJB3ozY6pFyjLrPzgCw%2F8%3D&reserved=0>.  Lori Benson teaches it, and the other course(s) about materials and storage are taught by Rebecca Newberry.

When we originally planned the Science Museum move we built in as much sustainability and reuse as we could, but were unfortunately not able to put it into practice as much as we wanted to. That was an administrative decision.  I would be more than happy to talk to more about what we planned at that time. Just let me know.

Hi Bethany,

there is this very nice publication "Moving the Mountain<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinkprotect.cudasvc.com%2Furl%3Fa%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fwww.smm.org%252fsites%252fdefault%252ffiles%252fpublic%252fattachments%252fmoving-the-museum.pdf%26c%3DE%2C1%2CfpSeZ-XXMoQB3P90eavI_5vPpheGVqNI4AXlof1bBUqiHNUIJrq4QMzbq_ePIrp40EYjfBcoFupaCbwTRpRQ1aA4tJRTCN0Cqf9vmsy8VO-_Z6qwOT88Ce38ugPj%26typo%3D1&data=05%7C01%7Crinconrodriguezl%40ufl.edu%7C242a5e466bf84f214abb08dab7683a82%7C0d4da0f84a314d76ace60a62331e1b84%7C0%7C0%7C638023955543798041%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=pv1bBMkJUDIsTrvl%2BGk9GeS%2BSXDczJC9H5yyZzSDUcM%3D&reserved=0>", featuring some very nice and dear colleagues on page 9 which some us know very well.

This might be useful, there is an own chapter on packging.

With best wishes

Hi all,

I am looking for advice for our upcoming move to a new site. Has anyone undertaken a big museum move in recent years and could advise on 1. packing materials (what to use but with sustainability in mind) and 2. European suppliers for potentially 'renting' boxes and crates so we don't have to buy new?

Any advice and guidance would be really appreciated!

All the best,
