Assessing Risks to Your Collection

Wednesday, June 9, 2004; 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

$120

Despite our best intentions, there will always be risks to collections.

Against which threats should you prepare?  At what cost?  This workshop

offers a method of assessing risks to collections in a team-based format.

Participants will learn to 1) identify the risks to which collections are

exposed, which agents are responsible, and how types of risks differ;  2)

assess the relative importance of risks; and 3) understand how risk

assessment can be used to set institutional priorities for conservation.

The workshop is a highly interactive training session which includes both

theoretical and practical components and in which the participants play an

important part.  Ideas are explored through lectures, demonstrations,

brainstorming in small groups, assembling of ideas, presentation, and

discussion.

Instructor:  Robert Waller, Canadian Museum of Nature
