Dear collegues,
 
I have been asked to enquire on the question of valuation and insurance in archives and museums. We are responsible for the National Co-operative Archive and the Rochdale Pioneers Museum.
 
I would like to know how a unique, and therefore irreplaceable collection can be valued and insured. I would also like to know what special storage methods, if any are put into place for especially valueable items, for example if they are stored off site.
 
I would be grateful for any replies, off list please, and will compile any findings and circulate them.
 
Thanks
 
Sophie
