[Nhcoll-l] Valuing collections

[Sarah Long]

Dear Vasiti

In the EU there has been some work done recently on valuation, which I have found useful when thinking about different methodologies
http://www.eenc.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/CD%C3%BCmcke-FMatassa-Valuation-of-Works-of-Art-Report-2012.pdf

- don't be put off by it saying works of art, it covers a variety of types of museum collections including Natural History.

Hi Vasiti,
A good start is with the book:
The Value and Valuation of Natural Science Collections: Proceedings of the International Conference, Manchester, 1995

Here at Auckland Museum we are currently reviewing our valuation methodology for our collections and more importantly our Natural Science collections. We are reviewing current practice around this with other institutions to inform ours- methodology and how this works in practice with internal stakeholders and auditors etc.

Our four main collections are: Botany, Entomology, Marine and Land Vertebrates but we also have  Geology and Palaeontology collections

I would be very grateful if anyone was willing to share this information or point me in the direction of some relevant information.

Contact can be made offline

Kind regards
Vasiti
