@AppraisalSAA I definitely do. Adds to transparency, both within and outside of, the repository. If the policy is more detailed, a summary version would work as well. #AppraiseThis

@JulieIMay @patgalloway6 The only thing I can think of would be to try and get community members, and perhaps supportive donors, to encourage it to happen - if that's a feasible option. #AppraiseThis

@JulieIMay @AppraisalSAA @juliemay Reference staff are also good to consider since they'd have great insights regarding use, but with a smaller staff this could end up being most if not everyone! #AppraiseThis

@AppraisalSAA Agreed. It can also help convince hesitant donors. #AppraiseThis @AppraisalSAA

@JulieIMay @AppraisalSAA I'm also on a local historical society's collections committee. There's been a variety throughout the years: the society's collections manager and director, board members, director of another historical society, antique dealers, community members. #AppraiseThis @JulieMay
