"The Orange Empire Railway Museum's purpose is to preserve and display artifacts and documents of the rail transportation industry in order to educate the public on the technology, history and impact of the rail transportation industry in the West and more specifically Southern California."

"A collection management policy is a detailed written statement that explains why a museum is in operation and how it goes about its business, and it articulates the museum's professional standards regarding objects left in its care. The policy serves as a guide for the staff and as a source of information for the public" -from "A Legal Primer on Managing Museum Collections" by Marie Malaro

Orange Empire Railway Museum's Collections Policy is available for viewing online. Click Here for the pdf file (Requires Adobe Acrobat to view). The file was updated on 4/13/05 to include our Collection Project Proposal form.
