Course Objective

The management of collections is the foundation for many other museum activities. The aim of this course is to provide students with a thorough knowledge of the theory and practice of collections management and care, including the acquisition and disposal of collections; museum documentation; stores and collections access; handling and examination of objects; the principles of conservation; and security and emergency planning. Having taken the course students should understand why collections management is important, have a good practical idea of how to go about the different aspects of it, understand the wider picture of some of the ethical issues involved, and gain a sense of what interesting things a museum can do if its collection is in good order.
