Dear colleagues, The public museums from Romania are asked, by the Finance Ministry, to make a complete inventory of all the cultural goods registered in the museums (sometimes, hundreds of thousands of items), annually. This implies an object-per-object checking (including the conservation estate of the goods). I am interested about the members of the List's opinion on this and if the members are aware about any recommended rule on this subject.
