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.
