Collections at the Heart – policy, procedure or plan?
The UK museum Accreditation standard requires museums to have various policy, procedure and plan documents. But what goes into a policy, a procedure, or a plan?
This two hour interactive session will look at the role of policies, procedures and plans in collections management and where to find guidance to support the review and development of these documents.
It will also give a brief overview of the policies, procedures and plans relevant to sections 4 and 5 of the Accreditation standard:
- 4.2 Collections development policy
- 5.1 Documentation policy
- 5.2 The Spectrum primary procedures, including the need for a Documentation plan and Documentation procedures manual
