Collections Care Program Series:
Essential Policies and Procedures for Cultural Institutions
When: Thursday, December 1, 2022 2:00 ET
Where: Virtual Zoom Meeting
EVENT DETAILS:
Description: An institution’s collections care and business practices are defined by its written policies and procedures. Institutional memory is often lost through staff changes, but best practices are encoded in these important documents. This program will provide an overview of policy and planning documents that are essential for collections care, such as collections management policies, handling guidelines, and maintenance policies. Participants will learn the critical components of these documents and tangible examples of how to adapt them to different institutions will be given. Policy development, approval, and implementation responsibilities of staff, volunteer, and board will be discussed.
Instructor: Dyani Feige, Director of Preservation Services, CCAHA
