Museums today are faced with many new and unexpected challenges,
including climate change, developing sustainable practices in collection
care, preservation of digital information, decolonization and
repatriation, changing environmental parameters for collection storage,
and strategies for coping with ever-larger collections with shrinking
budgets. In his May 2024 webinar, John E. Simmons discussed how good
collection management policies can help museums address these issues and
other topics in the new, revised third edition of Things Great and
Small: Collection Management Policies.
Join instructor John Simmons for the 4 week long course Policies for
Managing Collections. In this course we will critically examine the
purposes and functions of collections management policies, including how
collections are defined, acquired, managed, used, maintained, and
deaccessioned.
Learn how to write collections management policies for your own
institution and how to evaluate the effectiveness of your policies.
Participants can purchase the Third Edition of the book at a discount.
