Managing Archival Collections

Many museums hold archival materials including documents and photographs that

important component of museum collections and develops your understanding of
ways in which they should be organized, managed, preserved and shared. While
there is common ground between the management of artifacts and the management
of archives, recognizing the distinctions is important to caring effectively
for documentary materials and increasing their role in the museum environment.
