GUIDE TO PAPERS
Originally compiled in March 1995 Revised October 2003 Second Revision October 2008
.
The Neville Public Museum of Brown County houses a permanent collection of over two million objects. This collection includes objects of art, history and science in the areas of archaeology, photography, original art, general history (American material culture), ethnology, geology and zoology. Access to collections is provided to researchers following established Museum policy and procedure. Requests for access should be directed to the Museum's Collections Department.
This guide to papers was compiled to create greater access to the Museum's manuscripts. It is a listing of collections of documents. Museums have traditionally treated documents as individual items that are given individual control numbers and individual storage assignments. The Neville is no exception to this practice. It is, therefore, important to work with various methods of access to material in the Museum's permanent collection in addition to documents processed as collections. Where individual documents have been incorporated into existing collections, their control numbers are identified in this guide. Reference is also made when there is additional material present in the Museum's collections of general historical material or photography related to a specific collection.
