RULE §111.18Capitol Collections Management Manual

    (A) The curator of the Capitol shall provide to the appropriate personnel charged with property responsibility at each applicable state agency a list of all items being used by their agency that are Capitol historical artifacts under State Preservation Board inventory. This list shall include the object's state inventory number, its Capitol historical artifact number, and location.

    (B) The appropriate personnel must inform the curator if they wish to change the location of a Capitol historical artifact. Such items may only be moved or handled under the direct supervision of State Preservation Board curatorial staff.

    (C) The appropriate personnel must contact the curator to request any maintenance or restoration work on a Capitol historical artifact. Such work must be approved, supervised, and/or coordinated by the State Preservation Board curatorial staff.

    (D) Deaccessioning (selling, disposing of, or otherwise deleting from inventory) of any Capitol historical artifact can only be approved and coordinated by the State Preservation Board (see subsection (e) of this section).

  (3) At least every five years, the curator shall contract with a qualified conservator(s) to survey the collections and to prepare a report on their condition. The curator will maintain all reports on conservation actions taken by conservators and update the files accordingly.

Museum standards will be followed when feasible and practical, including the development of an emergency procedures manual addressing staff responsibilities in the event of theft, flood, fire, storm, explosion, war, and nuclear disaster.

  (5) The provisions of the manual may be revised, deleted, and amended upon the approval of the curator of the Capitol and the executive director of the State Preservation Board, and the State Preservation Board.
