HI!



Grailville—a Center for The Grail in the U.S.—has been a Loveland institution
since 1944 with several manifestations of its mission over the years—the most
recent being a retreat and program center. Last summer, the Grail decided to
cease retreat and program center functions at Grailville. In the last year we
have taken on a very mindful process of transitioning from the retreat and
program center to what may come. Part of that was welcoming proposals from
outside organizations and individuals as we own 315 acres and 20 buildings (if
you count sheds and barns). We are at the point of the process where the
proposals have been reviewed and recommendations made to leadership and
membership. Membership is going through a time of discussion and discernment
with decisions on the next incarnation due by September.



What this means on the practical level, is that my team is in charge of making
a complete inventory of both equipment and collections from all buildings and
then putting together plans to determine what to keep, what to store, what to
lend and what to disperse.



The lists Kendall provided are the inventory lists to this point. Should there
be equipment or collection items on the lists your organization would like to
purchase, borrow or??? We welcome you to send in a request.



I hope this is helpful….



Terrie

Yes, we have been working very hard developing and putting together the
inventory lists and catalogue sheets! In response to your questions:



The hyperlinks on the collections checklist link to catalogue sheets, which are
stored on our network. Therefore the links will not work from computers outside
the network. If there are particular objects that are of interest to you,
please let me know their accession identification numbers and I can email you
the corresponding catalogue sheets and photographs. Because there are so many
objects, it is not possible to share all of the documents at once.



At this time all collections objects, except those explicitly created to be
displayed outdoors, are recommended for indoor use.



Grailville is certainly excited and willing to do long term or permanent loans,
depending on the object in question. There are two categories of objects that
are distinct collections that need to stay together at this time. Those are the
Textile collection and the Creche collection. We would be willing to take
proposals regarding long term loans of these objects as groups. At this time
all other objects could be considered for individual purchase or loan
proposals. At this time, the longest decision making process will be that
revolving around the sale or loan of collections items. These proposals go
through a longer process involving a collections committee.



There are MANY equipment items as well, which could be sold via private or
public sale. Please be sure to look at that list as well!



Lastly, many collections objects were created at Grailville, which is located
in Miami Township, therefore all objects listing Grailville as the place of
origin are identified Miami Township pieces.



I hope this answers your questions!

Thanks Kendall for sending us a copy of your inventory. You certainly have
been busy putting this together! I would like to go over the complete list
with our acquisitions person to see what she and her group might consider
appropriate for GMAHS. I know we would love to have any identified
Milford/Miami Townships pieces, if possible. Are you willing to do long term
or permanent loans? Revolving exhibits?



I am assuming that all of the pieces listed are for indoor use. We too have
limited storage space so must keep that in mind when

we consider adding something to our collection or put things out for display.



I could not open hyper links. Where those photos? Since I am so visual, I
would really appreciate being able to see objects too.



Hope we can work out something. GMAHS would be very pleased to have some of
your great history to share at our location.

Hello MHS!



As Terrie promised, I am attaching the collections and equiptment inventory
lists that I have created surrounding the transition at Grailville. Please keep
in mind that while they are almost complete, they are still works in progress.
The process is slowly but surely progressing! If you would like more
information about the objects on either list, or would like to discuss anything
in particular please do not hesitate to contact Terrie or I. We would love your
input!
