AG1.1 Determine the scope and potential development of a collection
AG1.2 Plan the acquisition and disposal of items and collections
AG1.3 Develop a loan policy
This unit is for archaeologists who have responsibility in an organisation for the maintenance and use of collections. A museum is the most obvious situation where this function will occur but collections are maintained by many other organisations for educational and research purposes. It is important in all cases to develop a strategy for how an organisation's collection will be developed and maintained.
This unit covers determining how the collection should develop, and involves reviewing what is already in the collection, and what the options are for developing it. It looks at planning how the scope of the collection can be realised either through acquisition and/or disposal, and developing a loan policy which covers items which are borrowed or loaned to other organisations.
