This Museum Management Plan describes an approach for implementing improvements for the museum program over a five-year period, building upon past achievements and anticipating future challenges, with an emphasis on the efficiencies and savings associated with a multi-park approach. This plan identifies the museum management challenges and opportunities facing these three parks, and presents recommendations to advance the program. A survey of the park staff was conducted to determine current informational and program support needs (see Appendix A). A team of museum management professionals developed this plan in cooperation with the staff responsible for managing park archives, museum collections, and library resources. The archival and museum collections reflect the age and maturity of the different parks and are stored at the Redwood National and State Parks South Operations Center facility in Orick, California and other park locations. Providing controlled access to these important park-specific resources contributes to the efficiency of managing park operations. The recent initiation of a regional and national strategy for museum facilities supports the multi-park approach and helps justify the museum program’s emphasis on Redwood as a three-park repository.
