Description::
Discover why museums use those little bitsy numbers on artifacts. Master the ABCs of museum record keeping in the Basics of Museum Registration. 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:
1. Introduction
2. The Museum Mission Statement
3. Accessioning and Numbering
4. Registration Manual
5. Conclusion
Logistics:
Participants in the Basics of Museum Registration work at their own pace through five sections and interact through online forums and chats. Instructor Peggy Schaller will be available at scheduled times for email support. The course covers everything you need to know to process a collection.
