Inventory and Documentation Planning

What is the difference between the Inventory and Audit procedures? What information do you need to meet the requirements for the Inventory procedure? How can you create a realistic documentation plan to address inventory projects?  

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 Inventory procedure. 

·       Understand policy related to Inventory. 

·       Know how to develop a realistic plan to address gaps in inventory information. 

·       Know where to find more information and guidance. 

 Before the session, attendees should:   

·       Ensure they have a working microphone, so they can fully participate.

·       Think about how they do things in their museum, referring to in-house procedures. It might also be useful to have the museum’s procedures to reference during the session.   

Please note:

Maximum two delegates per organisation. This session is open to all museums, regardless of Accredited status, and suitable for those new to the subject or those looking to refresh their knowledge.
