Collections Audit, Online Zoom
Do you have the collections and information you think you have? Delivered by Collections Trust, this session will explore 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.
By the end of the session, attendees will:
- Understand the Spectrum Audit procedure.
- Understand the difference between Inventory and Audit.
- Know where to find more information and guidance.
Before the session:
- Ensure you have a working microphone, so you can fully participate.
- Think about how you do things in your museum, referring to your museum’s policy and procedures related to Audit.
This session is workshop style with breakout rooms. There will be a 10 minute break around 11:00.
