This book provides a really useful guide for organizations on how to manage small museums, as it covers basic topics such as the acquisition of items, accessioning, accession number systems and documentation. When doing research on how to manage our church's heritage exhibition, the book was one of the few books on the subject that we were able to find, and certainly the most up-to-date one. We have not followed exactly what was suggested in the book, but have found the advice given useful for adapting to our purposes.
I am president of a small museum, just getting started. This book has become our 'bible.' It answers questions we didn't know we had. Everything is written so us newbies can understand it. I would recommend this to anyone involved in museum work. I mentioned it to our state curator and he said they referred to it often also.
Once again updated with new insight and suggestions, this remains one of the best books to guide small museum organizations in managing and registering their collection materials. It's also helpful to those who find themselves in a position to "clean house."Written in a style so that anyone, from volunteer to senior (non collection backgrounded) staff person will understand, it's a must have for any collection manager, registrar, archivist, etc. in training. I'd also recommend it to any other museum staff person to get a better grasp of the challenges the collection departments face.
Solid introduction to what is required to organize a museum or historical society. Buy this before you go looking for software.Perfect for new organizations with lots of enthusiasm and not so much experience in organizing and documenting material.
This book was recommended by many museum professionals as essential for newcomers. It was very informative and answered many questions.
