Rank in Order of Importance

I know it has been a while since this blog has been active but I thought some of you might still be checking in. Of course we got the grant and have spent the year conducting meetings and hands on exercises concerning disaster planning.

We are at the tail end of the project, gearing up for the next big grant and need some feedback.


In order to meet the greatest needs of Wyoming’s collecting institutions and libraries, we are sending you a simple survey.


Would you please place the following six (6) topics in the order that best reflects the needs of your organization?

Disaster planning and networking
Digitization of collections
Collections storage funding
Cataloguing collections
Educating board members
Education for museum staff

Also feel free to add a topic that you feel important to your institution, if not shown above.

Please send your response to annemaries@bbhc.org.

Thank you for your participation in this important project!!!
