Hello.
First, I need to thank those of you who responded to my question about
whether or not you heat historic buildings in the winter. Summarizing the
responses I received, I would say that half do and half don't. Those that
do not heat, do not see adverse effects of freezing temps on their
collections, but would still choose to heat their buildings if it wasn't
cost prohibitive.
Now, I am looking to hear from those museums which are connected to a city
or county government. Not those which receive funding from a municipality
or county, but are actually a department of that city/county government.
Would you please email me so that I could give you a telephone call to ask
some questions we have about fundraising and 501c3 status, Friends Groups,
etc.? Thank you.
