Good Afternoon Megan,
Many of the folks, who write on this subject use the term "curation
costs"..... so, you may wish to do a Google search, entering the key
phrase "curation costs." Also, several articles have been written on
this subject by archaeologists and staff associated with the U.S. Dept.
of the Interior.
I hope this helps,
Wesley

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] cost of cataloging
Hi all,
I am working on a time budgeting project and need some help in
determining estimates for cataloging collections. Much of our collection
has been "catalogued," but all of the information needs to be reviewed,
and some corrected, as each object is handled. Some objects have only
scant information available so will require more. This is also an
inventory project.
I know this type of information is out there but of course
couldn't find it when I needed it! Can someone guide me to sources or
provide some basic (substantiated) estimates for time involved to create
the paper trail for one object and/or to review/update the same? It
will also be helpful to know the standard estimate for the number of
records to input into a database per day.
Thanks,
Sharon Duane Koomler
