The Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts will host a free webinar on inventory principles this month.
From CCAHA:
Inventorying collections is one of the most crucial parts of any collections management program. A complete inventory underpins good intellectual control, emergency preparedness and response, and security, as well as helps to determine processing and preservation priorities.
In this webinar, DHPSNY Archives Specialist Kate Philipson will discuss the process and principles for carrying out a basic inventory of your archival materials, recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities inherent in working with collections of records in the aggregate.
Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2025
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Online
While this webinar will mainly focus on archival records, Kate will also touch upon what to do when you have a mixed collection that includes 3D objects or other non-archival materials.
This program is considered a loose follow-up to our previous program, Inventorying Collections for Museums, which you can view here. You are welcome to watch this recording in preparation, but it is not required to participate in this program. We will be following up with additional webinars on the topic of inventorying soon.
