Join instructor Angela Kipp for the 4 week online course Managing
Previously Unmanaged Collections. Working with a previously
unmanaged collection is one of the most challenging and rewarding
projects in the career of a museum professional. Challenging
because of the variety of issues like leaking roofs, missing
documentation, and the question as to whether there is actually a
floor underneath those piles of objects. Rewarding because of the
variety of new discoveries and the skills that are learned, along
with the satisfying feeling of getting things done.
The process of securing the collection and making it accessible
needs the mindset of a collections manager and that of a project
manager. This 4 week course helps you to get a grip on your
unmanaged collection by developing a plan to tackle it, defining
achievable goals by creating logical exits, and finding ways to
keep the project going even if you are limited in time, staff and
money.
