Collections Audit
This online session delivered in partnership with the Collections Trust explores the Spectrum 5.1 Audit procedure – systematically checking the accuracy and completeness of the information you have about your collections.
At the most basic level, the procedure confirms that your records match the physical reality: you have all the objects you should have, correctly numbered and located where they are supposed to be. We will explore the difference between the Inventory and Audit procedures, discuss the benefits of undertaking regular audits and how you might approach this.
There will be opportunities to discuss with colleagues and ask questions throughout, as well as signposting to further guidance.
There are 24 places on this workshop. Places are available for museums in the north of England, priority will be given to those which are not regularly funded by Arts Council England or central government. If there are more than two delegates from a single museum booked on a workshop we reserve the right to amend delegate lists to allow museums from the waiting list to participate.
