Pierre; I totally agree. I feel like I am still in the education phase, until there is a groundswell of people who see the need, the value, and wish to participate and volunteer. I have so many projects at the moment, although many are related to this, I do not have the time to bring it all together without the strong interest of a group of people. Until there are enough individuals who understand how the system works, not much will be done. But I open my mouth every now and then and hope there will be some sparks of interest. Sadly Americans seem to have a hard time being part of an organization. Congratualtions on being able to have such an organization in France.

Help yourself and do not wait the institutions.

Here France NCPG began as a federation of existing private collectors.
I think it was the same in England.
You need only to organize and to shift goals of collections.
