Speaking for myself, I have entered a phase familiar
to anyone who has
started one of these computer museums: I am starting to actively
refuse or ignore certain kinds of items. You can't collect everything
and you have to focus on your core mission. Strictly speaking, I have
probably already gone too far away from my core mission (computer
graphics) in a few instances.
Do you do anything for the items that you turn down? I've been there
myself, and was always worried about things ending up in landfill - some
people will make very little effort to find a home for things (as is their
right, of course). I sometimes ended up with something I really didn't
want, but thankfully I've been lucky and never had much of a problem
passing things on to other homes.
The CHM commonly refuses items these days
Now I'm curious what their policy is, too.
