A while back there was a query about conducting sampling for conservation
audits. I forwarded the query to CoOL and got an e-mail message back from
Robert Waller, Chief of Collections/ Head of Conservation at the Canadian
Museum of Nature. Rob has been developing methodologies for risk assessments
and suggests that you take a look at the following reference:
Waller, R., 1996. Preventive conservation planning for large and diverse
collections. Preservation of Collections Assessment, Evaluation, and
Mitigation Strategies. Preprints of the June 10 -11, 1996 workshop.
American Institute for Conserevation, Washington, pp. 1-9.
I also think that the following paper (also by Rob) may be helpful:Waller,
R., 1994. Conservation risk assessment: a strategy for managing resources
for preventive conservation. In Preventive Conservation Practice, Theory and
Research. Preprints of the Contributions to the Ottawa Congress, 12 - 16
September 1994. International Institute for Conservation. London. pp. 12 -
16.
Good luck!
