Richmond National Battlefield Park Scope of Collection Statement
Bullard E. 2023. Richmond National Battlefield Park Scope of Collection Statement. National Park Service
This Scope of Collection Statement (SOCS) defines the scope of present and future museum collection holdings of Richmond National Battlefield Park (RICH) that contribute directly to the understanding and interpretation of the park’s purpose, themes, and resources, as well as those objects that the National Park Service (NPS) is legally mandated to preserve. The SOCS is designed to ensure that the entirety of the museum collection is clearly relevant to the site and set appropriate limits for acquisition. The SOCS is intended to be an evolving document, must be reviewed on a regular basis (minimum 5 years) and updates/changes should be made through interdisciplinary efforts of park and regional subject matter experts (DM 411.1).
