Dear all
This may be of interest - UCL Museums & Collections have launched a
Collections Review Toolkit. As the Museums Association website put it:
"UCL looked at nearly 380,000 objects from 19 separate collections and 190
different stores. The review was intended to document collections care,
establish current curatorial activity and standards, and identify whether
material was used for teaching, research or public engagement.
The toolkit features guidance, practical examples and tips to help museums
adapt UCL's methodology for their own collections. It also addresses common
questions raised by attendees of UCL's recent Reviewing Collections
workshops, which were run in partnership with the MA."
