[[/table]] Other Museum Program units funded by nonappropriated unrestricted trust funds in addition to federal appropriations are the Libraries, for the support of staff and related expenses, and the Smithsonian Archives, which has a small trust fund budget. The Office of Museum Programs has a revolving trust fund budget based on revenues received for handling and shipping costs for the circulation of audiovisual programs on conservation information. The borrowers of these programs, usually museums or academic institutions, are charged no rental fee for their use. The Office of Museum Programs has also received funding from donors to support special activities such as the seminar on "Children in Museums" held in October 1979. The Office of Horticulture received trust support for the planning and installation of a special exhibit on Victorian horticulture and floriculture and for improvement of its greenhouse and nursery facilities. The Office of Horticulture, South Group Buildings Management, and the Office of Exhibits Central also have special purpose trust fund accounts stemming from provision of services or production efforts for trust activities; these funds are used only to sustain these services. Future Year Prospectus Within this projected planning period, the Institution will establish and initiate a training program for conservators and conservation technicians at the Museum Support Center. This will be made possible with the completion of the Center and the expansion of the staff of the Conservation Analytical Laboratory to include conservation training coordinators, as well as additional conservators and scientists. Collections management, particularly inventory and informational systems, will receive increased attention, and the methods of handling the Institution's archival and bibliographic resources will be improved through automated systems and administrative refinements. The Traveling Exhibition Service will expand its international program. Museum Support Center. Planning for the Museum Support Center was completed in mid-1980. A construction period of 24 months commencing in February
