I am a young museum professional with a master's degree in museum
studies. I have been working now as a collections specialist managing
the collections of three historic houses for about two years. I am
looking into taking an appraising course offered by the International
Society of Appraisers. It is an expensive course, and I am wondering if
it is worthwhile. Will it make me more appealing to future employers?
Will it help my career as a collections manager if I have knowledge of
appraising? Or would it lessen my credibility as collections manager?
Any advice would be helpful. You can respond to me on or off list.
Thanks.
