It would be a great help to me if any of your were able to mail to me off-line (to [log in to unmask]) any examples of your organisations science collection policy (for both interactive exhibits and science museum artefacts). I am particularly interested in the objectives and criteria used by others to define a science and technology museum collection (particularly dealing with the issues of collecting and managing technology e.g. computers) and also collecting experimental/research science equipment (we are based in a region bursting with R&D and science organisations). Any e.g.'s or comment on what has worked for your place would be most appreciated down here in Lord of the Rings Land!
