Description:: Master the ABCs of museum record keeping in the Basics of Museum Registration - and finally discover why museums use those little bitsy numbers on artifacts. Participants learn about registration, accession, common numbering systems and how to craft a mission statement for their museum. Finally, the course reviews the importance of having - and using - a registration manual and what it should contain. Each participant will write a mission statement, as well as collection and acquisition policies for a "new" museum. The curriculum also requires written commentary on museum missions, an accessioning exercise and drafting a sample registration manual.
Course Outline: Basics of Museum Registration runs for four weeks. Please sign up at http://www.museumclasses.org and pay at http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If you have trouble with either, please contact Helen Alten at helen@collectioncare.org
Student Comments for MS103: The Basics of Museum Registration " I liked the exercise where we chose the different items we would have in the museum. That one was hard because I didn't always know how to justify something I wanted or didn't want … I was even asking my family at the dinner table and we were all talking about what we would keep and what we wouldn't! I would definitely take another class." - Student in MS103 This course was a great quick course … I will look forward to taking more in the future … The instructor was very helpful and available. - Student in MS103 "The class was set up so that someone with very little time could learn a lot in a short period. It provided information that was useful in the actual context of work." - July 2005 Student in MS103 "I have enjoyed many of the classes offered through NSCC and really learn a lot. … The class was taught extremely well and provided grateful information. Peggy was an inspiring person with so much to learn from! - July 2005 Student in MS103
