The new Museum Registration Methods (MRM 5) publication was just released at the 2010 AAM meeting on Los Angeles. This is the 5th edition and is historically known as the "registrars bible" . It is an excellent encyclopedic reference to the various collection care issues we are faced with as museum professionals each day. It is also a good reference point to other sources of written materials on many of the subjects.
