Collections

Our collections are the heart of Kingman Museum and their preservation is essential to its success. Volunteers and staff are currently inventorying and cataloging the collections and entering the information into our database. The Collection Committee meets monthly to discuss the status of our collection and to set goals for the museum to meet.

Objectives that have already been met by the Collection Committee:

  1. The successful transfer and legal ownership of the collection from Battle Creek Public Schools
  2. Removed items from Southwest Junior High
  3. Completed the installation of a temperature and humidifying control system
  4. Updated KMI’s Collection Policy.

 

Future objectives of KMI and the Collections Committee:

  1. Complete the inventory of our collection
  2. Relocate all collection items into temperature and humidity controlled rooms
  3. Rotate out exhibit items with items that have been hidden from the public
  4. Replace all storage materials with American Museum Association recommended materials
  5. Create an online collection site for visitors to view from home
