Re: retention of awards and plaques



At a historical society where I worked, we would have the museum curators
decide which, if any, plaques/medals, the museum wanted and the rest were
returned to the donors.  Any paper materials, such as certificates/diplomas,
were unframed and placed with the archives. The frames were then returned to
the donors or discarded of.

As a variation on this theme, what do people do with plaques, awards,
etc. that come with personal papers? Many of the collections we receive
often come with *MANY* plaques, framed certificates, diplomas, medals,
etc., etc.

Thanks,
