Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections online course begins Feb 3 on MuseumStudy.com Join instructor Angela Kipp for the 4 week online course Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections. Working with a previously unmanaged collection is one of the most challenging and rewarding projects in the career of a museum professional. Challenging because of the variety of issues like leaking roofs, missing documentation, and the question as to whether there is actually a floor underneath those piles of objects.

Rewarding because of the variety of new discoveries and the skills that are learned, along with the satisfying feeling of getting things done.

The process of securing the collection and making it accessible needs the mindset of a collections manager and that of a project manager. This

4 week course helps you to get a grip on your unmanaged collection by developing a plan to tackle it, defining achievable goals by creating logical exits, and finding ways to keep the project going even if you are limited in time, staff and money.

This year we will be using the new Second Edition of Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections, but if you have the First Edition you can use that too.

If you missed the webinar Angela Kipp led through Museum Study on November 19, 2024, What's new in the Second Edition of Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections, here is the link to the recording on our YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/1s2BOt8S17M?si=Q26tVXWXXcsLveUd<https://youtu.be/1s2BOt8S17M?si=Q26tVXWXXcsLveUd>

Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 1 online course begins February 3 on MuseumStudy.com Assessing risks to cultural property, including but not limited to Museum, Library, and Archive collections, is becoming a fundamental ability for collection care professionals and administrators to make informed decisions about not only where the risks to collections are, but also where resources will have the greatest effect in addressing those risks. Join instructors Robert Waller and Moya Dumville for the first in a series of online courses on Risk to Cultural Property. This introductory course provides a firm foundation on which to build an understanding of risk-based approaches to cultural property protection.

Participants will develop a useful set of defined type 1 (rare and potentially catastrophic) specific risks relevant to their institution.

The potential impact of those risks will be ranked according to estimates of likelihood and impact. This will provide focus in the development of emergency preparedness plans and resources.
