The Four Stages of Collecting Part III: Collection Management

This webinar will explore how utilizing a registrar can be an asset to your collection, weighing in on topics such as finding a qualified contract registrar and what a registrar does.

Collection management is the process of ensuring that an art collection is properly cared for, stored, displayed and conserved. It involves keeping accurate records, documenting conditions and conservation treatments, and carrying out regular inspections. Collections data management is essential for proper collection care.

Inventories and databases help to keep track of what is in a collection, where it is located, and what condition it is in. Proper installation, storage, packing and shipping are important for protecting items from damage during transport. Fine arts insurance protects against loss or damage due to fire, theft or other causes. Condition reports and conservation help to ensure that items are in good condition and are not deteriorating. Managing loans to exhibitions ensures that items are returned safely and on time. All of these activities are important for proper collection management.
