Documentation planning
This online session delivered in partnership with the Collections Trust will explore what to consider when creating a documentation plan, using the Spectrum 5.1 Documentation planning procedure as a framework.
We will discuss: what might prompt documentation planning; how you can identify projects and priorities for your documentation plan; how you can create a realistic plan to address your documentation projects; what you can do to help ensure a successful project.
There will be opportunities to discuss with other attendees, ask questions throughout and submit questions in advance.
By the end of the session, attendees will:
- Understand the role of the Spectrum standard, and its supporting guidance, in relation to museum Accreditation
- Understand the Spectrum requirements for the Documentation planning procedure
- Know how to develop a realistic plan
- Know where to find more information and guidance.
This workshop is for staff and volunteers from museums in the North of England which are Accredited or formally working towards Accreditation and who directly work with collections and documentation in their day-to-day role or who manage the staff and volunteers that do.
Priority will be given to those museums 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.
