Rövid tartalmi összefoglaló angol nyelven
Mrs Gergely Kovács Foundation of the Postal and Telecommunications Museums Plan of Action in 1996 Management and administration Establishment of a more forward-looking, modem system of management and requisite renewal of internal statutes are envisaged, based on amendment of the deed of foundation and the issue of measures by the founders regulating archive procedures for historical materials, these having been thwarted in both 1994 and 1995. The management of the Foundation, in the light of the above, sees a need for the museum curators to prepare studies on developing the work going on in the collections and on the prospects in applied museum studies. The Stamp Museum must implement the museum’s new code of operation, including the new accounting and handling code to be introduced on July 1, 1996. The Postal Museum must start in 1996 on its audited inventory, due to be taken every ten years, the last having been taken in 1986. This means the graduate staff handling the collections must prepare a two-year plan of action by the end of February 1996. Tasks concerning the collections The only expedient solution to the storage problems seems to be to turn over to museum use the industrial premises vacated by the Erzsébet Telephone Works. Based on the development plan, the renovation and alteration plan must be drawn up in 1996, so that work can start immediately the space is transferred. All this requires from the founders a common declaration of intent. The careful planning must include a survey of the items in the collections now stored under poor conditions, and compiling a list of these, including their dimensions and weights. The warehousing plan must include a way of establishing a common installations store and a cleaning and restoring workshop for the Foundation’s museums. Space must also be found to store the packing materials and crates required to prevent damage in transit or storage. The Documents Collection of the Foundation of the Postal and Telecommunications Museums (in Róna utca) must start computerization and establishing the technical conditions for this. During the processing, the duplicates and the documents classed as of no museum interest must be omitted from the inventory records. It must be considered how similar collections of documents kept by the museums in various places can be placed in the Róna utca collection. In the Stamp Museum, the registration group now formed will begin to inspect the collections. 300
