The New Italy Museum Inc. (NIMI) Collection Policy

The purpose of the collection is to assist the organisation to fulfill its Mission and the Objects of its Constitution

There are two core collecting areas:

     1. The story of the 1880 Marquis de Rays Expedition and settlement of expeditioners in New Italy is told in the "Museum"

     2. The story of Italian Migration to the Northern Rivers region of NSW is told in the "Pavillion"

NIMI will collect objects which tell the stories of the two core collecting areas and fall within the date range:

     1875 to 1955 in the Museum

     1875 to 1988 in the Pavilion

Ojects are collected, maintained and displayed in accordance with The Historic New Italy Collection Policy 2023 - 2028

This policy was prepared by DN Veith and the "Museum Monday Group"

The project to develop the policy was supported by a Create NSW's Volunteer Museum Grant Project, a devolved funding program administered by Museums and Galleries off NSW on behalf of the NSW Goverment.
