I had a great meeting with the librarian/archivist from MOMA today. She gave me a few things to think about as far as access restrictions. For example we have architectural drawings in the collection but if posted online it is like saying here are the schematics to the galleries come and rob us. That wing of our old building is no longer standing but still it is an issue I had not considered. She also leaned toward more restrictions in general but they are also a private institution while AAM is property of the city.
She has also agreed to send my contact for some people at other city owned collections to see how they handle access situations. And she will send me some of the personnel hours formulas she used when creating the plan for her archives.
A very productive afternoon.
