Re: Business name changes and collection titles



Is the bulk of the collection under one of the names?  If so, you may want
to go with that one.  Alternately, I find these things take on an identity
of their own.  If most people are going to refer to it casually as the
N_____ Collection, you might want to use that name.

Just out of curiosity: What title would you use for a collection that came
from a company that has undergone several name changes? Would you use the
name it was operating under when the donation was made? Use an earlier name
if the earlier name was better known than a late one? Let the donor choose
how it should be identified? Use some other method?

Best wishes,
