Today I'm attending the #MuseumsAssociation one day conference on the #FutureOfDisposal, which is a hot topic for #museums everywhere.
I'm very pro-rationalisation, which often horrifies fellow #conservators, but we just can't keep everything.
I'd be curious to hear what my fellow GLAM folks on here think of pruning #collections - yay or nay?
Personally I think it's as much a part of good #CollectionsManagement as acquiring new objects and looking after them while they're in your care.

The reviews are in and we are really going towards a second edition of "Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections".
If there are #gaps in the first edition, please let me know.
Especially looking for real-world examples from #native and #digital #collections
Re-toots appreciated!

I am searching for people who have read "Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections" and have ideas what is missing or what should be improved.
Also looking for additional real world examples.
Boosts are appreciated!

Hello folks, time for an #introduction.
Iβm a #Museum professional working in #CollectionsManagement, currently in a #NaturalHistory institute. #Documentation is my life (though I can pack, move and install exhibition objects too).
In my past life I was an #archaeologist working on #BronzeAge metalwork and ceramics in the UK and in Greece.
Still finding my feet here as itβs only day 1 for meβ¦
