2024 Fall Workship Series
Collections Assessments & Care Basics
Whether you're a small collecting institution just getting started with managing your collection, or a well seasoned museum professional just looking for a refresher, this workshop is for you. Dedicated members of the Oregon Heritage MentorCorps team join together to present content that reflects basic core skills and principles of museum operation. Learning how to correctly assess your collection, and then caring for the contents is key to successful stewardship of history and strong maintenance of public trust for your institution. This workshop will share resources for how to conduct an assessment, how to tie that assessment into larger strategic planning efforts, and how to move from assessment to triage and basic care and maintenance.
Each of these sessions offered will contain the same content, with the primary difference being in presenters, presenter backgrounds, and presenting styles.
