You might get hold of the Burke Museum in Seattle, Washington. They recently constructed an entire new building and had to move the entirety of their collection. Their grand opening is scheduled for October 12. I imagine anyone in the collections department might have advice. I attended the Western Museums Association conference last fall and they presented on some of the plans for their new museum, including making collections more visible to the visitor.

As one can easily surmise, there are a lot of things to consider, lots of decisions to be made, and lots of unexpected surprises to reveal themselves. I would very much like to hear from anyone who has recently had to move large portions or the entirety of their collections, used temporary remote storage or had to mass-house collections. What IPM issues did you encounter? What worked and didn't work? Even broader advice about collections care management is welcome. I know this stretches a bit beyond the scope of this list, but on the other hand, environment, proper storage and housings all fit in with IPM.
