Abstract
First paragraph: "Q2...If lack of space is forcing museums to stop collecting, should capacity to collect be factored into #accreditation? #museumhour" ‘We no longer exist in the age of plenty’ exclaimed a tweet on a recent #museumhour discussion hosted by the Society for Museum Archaeology (SMA) (@SocMusArch). Responding to the question above posted by @museumhour, this tweet responded emphatically ‘yes’. It would be ‘irresponsible 2 [sic] do otherwise’ because ‘we no longer exist in the age of #plenty’.
