Description
This essential book for all collection-holding institutions provides a model for organisational development that sets collections at its heart. It explains how to implement an integrated collections management framework that brings together:
- Collections development
- Collections information
- Collections access
- Collections care and conservation
The book will be of particular interest to curators, collections managers, archivists and librarians, both paid and voluntary, as well as top managers, trustees and all those involved in running a collecting organisation. It can be used as a step-by-step guide to establish an integrated collections management framework, and to review existing systems against current recommended practice.
Author Susanna Hillhouse has a wealth of collections management experience and worked on the Code of conduct for collections management (PAS197:2009) upon which this simplified guide is based.
