AG3.1 Establish criteria and procedures for acquisition and disposal
AG3.2 Assess items and collections for their contribution to the organisation
AG3.3 Initiate procedures for acquisition and disposal of items and collections
AG3.4 Negotiate the transfer of rights over items and collections
This unit is for archaeologists who have a high level of responsibility within organisations to determine which items and collections should be acquired or disposed of to meet strategic requirements.
Organisations usually have a strategy for how a collection will be developed and maintained. To implement this strategy, items and collections have to be acquired and disposed of. This requires criteria to be set for deciding which items and collections should be acquired or disposed of, and criteria for how these decisions are to be implemented. This unit covers establishing acquisition and disposal criteria to meet the strategic requirements of the organisation. It also looks at negotiating acquisitions and disposals leading to transfer of ownership or other rights and obligations.
