• the object’s current condition and state of preservation, the likely impact of wear to significant parts, the need to update to current safety standards and the requirement to remove hazardous materials and/or functions. Objects which are beyond their economic life (i.e. in a state of accelerated wear) will not be chosen for operation unless physical integrity is deemed insignificant in relation to significant function. • the benefit to the public and to the museum, in order to inspire innovation, engage understanding, motivate learning or preserve the collections. The opportunity for potential research collaboration into aspects such as the history of technology, future industrial developments, deterioration of materials or methods of preservation will be explored. Publicity, direct revenue generation, sponsorship attraction or special interest group gratification may be considered as supplemental reasons for proposal for operation but are not acceptable motivations on their own. • the resources required for maintaining the functionality for both the short and long term. Money, time, facilities, equipment and skilled staff are required for treatments, maintenance and repair programmes. Thorough documentation including photography of all processes from decision-making to maintenance logs and handling requirements must be kept and be made accessible. Where resources cannot be committed to the longterm maintenance, repair and replacement programme, an object shall not be selected for operation. • museum need in terms of frequency of operation and number of objects operating • restrictions of museum context (available space, exhibit design, health and safety requirements). The selection process itself closely follows the conservation management model produced by Barr with a curatorial, conservation and museum resource assessment, a written statement of significance which will be retained as part of the historic record of the object, preparation of conservation objectives which will best preserve the important features defined in the statement of significance and a treatment plan. The treatment plan will determine all the means required, including skills, equipment, materials, space, and present and future financial resources and will be entered as part of the conservation record of the collections database for the object. The approved treatment will also be retained as part of the historic record, as justification for the treatment may be required in the future. An Operating and Handling Guideline and an Inspection and Maintenance plan will be included in the Working Objects Database (WOD), developed while at the Science Museum by Efstathios Tsolis, now conservator at the National Railway Museum. Responsibility for maintaining the entries in WOD will remain with conservation. Periodic reviews of each working object will be undertaken to determine whether an object will continue to be operated, whether the operation should be modified or whether the object is no longer suitable for operation. Operation of an object will not be modified or altered without review. The Guidelines for Operation: The Future At present, the policy and procedures are still in draft form. They have been circulated to curatorial, conservation and documentation units at the museum and feedback has been collected. During the next two months, it is anticipated that a redraft will be written; there will be some reformatting as a result of the feedback. However, there will be very little content change - not totally surprising as much of the document reflects the past twenty years’ considerations of the Science Museum’s curators and conservation and collections care managers - but gratifying, none the less. The redraft will be submitted to the Collections Group of the NMSI (the corporate organisation of the Science Museum, the National Railway Museum and the National Media Museum) and the Collections Development Committee for final review and signoff. Once presented to the Board of Trustees of the Science Museum, it will be implemented; a review using the policy and procedures should then be 107
made of all objects presently being operated before additional candidates are considered. This review will be used to evaluate the process, including the selection committee structure and the responsibility roles, and to determine whether the Working Objects Database is configured appropriately to support use. Current resource implications - money, time and personnel - will be defined by this review and that information used to inform future proposals for operational historic objects from the Science Museum’s collections.
