Both of these, alas, pretty much boil down to questions of money.
Museums are increasingly understaffed, and often can't spare the
time for their curators to do much research on what something
really is and how it should be labeled. Also, it means that the few
curators they can hire often don't cover the full range of
expertise they need for the things they have -- almost no fine arts
museums have jewelry curators, for instance.
Sometimes it's a matter of what costumers can do for museums!
It's possible that they could use volunteers for some of these tasks.
If the museum is an essential source for the type of costuming you
do, make them your project as well.
