and that collection is being disposed of, as was CHAC's when History San
Jose aquired the Perham collection.
If someone were serious about starting a museum (as opposed to exhibiting
a personal collection) you need to think about sustainability. It's easy
to collect a huge pile of stuff, then the expensive part begins (cataloging,
storage and preservation costs, exhibit design, construction, and maintenance).
CHAC and Sellam both failed in the later.
