Download or read book Collections Management in the National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland written by and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-06-08 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland (MAGNI), created in 1998, brought together the Ulster Museum, the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, and the Ulster-American Folk Park (and it is also responsible for the operation of W5, the first Science Discovery Centre in Ireland, opened in 2001). The collection comprises some 1.45 million artefacts and works of art. The NIAO examined the structure of MAGNI, and the documentation and storage of the collection. Since 1994 all acquisitions have been documented to SPECTRUM (Standard ProcEdures for CollecTions Recording Used in Museums) standards, an internationally recognised standard for museum documentation. Although considerable progress has been made in computerisation, less than ten per cent of records are currently computerised. NIAO recommends: (i) a key performance indicator covering the percentage of the collection documented to international standards, reported annually; (ii) more photographing of important items (for records and internet use); (iii) regular physical inspection of a sample of records. At present only ten percent of the collection is on display. Storage of the remainder in some 50 separate locations was found to be poor or unacceptable in 30 locations, although the main stores holding the bulk of the collection are classed as good to excellent. NIAO welcomes the storage development plan being created, and recommends consideration of a centralized store, and performance indicators on storage conditions and internet accessibility to improve public access to the collections.

Book Synopsis Museum Provision and Professionalism by : Gaynor Kavanagh
Download or read book Museum Provision and Professionalism written by Gaynor Kavanagh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-20 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Museums are public places where objects, images and memories are kept and shared. They exist in infinite variety and contradiction. They can be places of great excitement and great boredom, sharply insightful and hopelessly bland. Museums are anything that the political climate and the imagination allows them to be. No two museums are the same. The papers which make up this volume give ample evidence of the variety of views that exist about museums. They also demonstrate that museums and museum professionals are moving forward with energy and conviction. This volume will be invaluable to students and museum professionals and will provoke them to consider museum provision and professionalism in all their forms.

Book Synopsis The Curation and Care of Museum Collections by : Bruce A Campbell
Download or read book The Curation and Care of Museum Collections written by Bruce A Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Museum curators enter the profession with a specialist subject qualification and yet at some point in their career, many curators find themselves in charge of a range of collections outside of their expert knowledge. Interpreting, curating and caring for mixed collections demands of curators a wide range of knowledge and understanding. The Curation and Care of Museum Collections is designed to give curators the fundamental information and confidence they need to manage and care for all of the collections within their responsibility, regardless of their previous training and experience. Comprising two sections – Museum Collections, and Collection Development and Care – the chapters cover archaeology, art, history, military and natural sciences collections, as well as heritage properties. Every chapter in the book is focused on one type of collection, but all chapters in the collection management section contain advice on topics such as organisational philosophy, documentation, legal issues and materials in order to provide a useful and comprehensive guide to managing collections. The collection care section is structured in the same way, considering the issues of storage; display; handling; moving; packing; housekeeping; health and safety; emergency preparedness; and pest, pollution, environmental, light and vibration management. The contributors to this book are experienced museum professionals, each with their own specialism and a deep understanding of what it means to work in the context of mixed collections. Providing a highly practical guide, The Curation and Care of Museum Collections is essential reading for curators working in all types of museums, galleries and heritage sites, and for students of museology courses around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The systematic management of records is an important activity for ‘information businesses’ such as museums and galleries, but is not always recognized as a core function.

Book Synopsis Managing Museums and Galleries by : Michael Fopp
Download or read book Managing Museums and Galleries written by Michael Fopp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current economic climate, coupled with an all embracing desire for museums to be respondent to 'the market' make a proper grounding in management essential. The 'bottom line' is one of the most powerful measures of management performance. Museums and galleries invariably have a neutral bottom line, they are not set up to make a profit and many of them are constrained by governmental accounting rules and charity legislation. Managing these organisations is difficult and this book tackles the issues that make it easier. Managing the Museum examines the highly sophisticated principles and techniques of modern business management from the perspective of museums and galleries and delineates their practical application. This volume surveys the day-to-day issues of time management, delegation and recruitment to the problems of strategic planning and initiating and controlling conflict and change. This study incorporates the needs of both the independent and national sectors and discusses the links between the museum and commerce.

Book Synopsis Collections Management in the National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland: Third Report of Session 2006-07 Report, Together With Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Committee of Public Accounts
Download or read book Collections Management in the National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland: Third Report of Session 2006-07 Report, Together With Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Committee of Public Accounts and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2006-12-13 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Museums and Galleries Northern Ireland (MAGNI), an agency of the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure, is responsible for the development, management, care and interpretation of Northern Ireland's national collection of some 1.45 million artefacts and works of art held at four museum sites. Proper management requires maintenance of complete, accurate and up to date records complying with accepted standards. The Committee is disappointed that only items acquired since 1994 have been documented to the national and international standard SPECTRUM, and some 87,000 items have no documentation at all. Despite previous critical reports from the Northern Ireland Audit Office, the response from the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in only computerising 10 per cent of its records is unacceptable. The Committee is also concerned that the Department has not introduced, as a condition of funding, appropriate performance measures. It is deplorable that 60 per cent of the storage space available is either "poor" or "unacceptable", and the Committee welcomes the storage development plan being brought forward. The Committee questions whether MAGNI should retain such an extensive collection, as disposal of artefacts should be an integral part of its collections management.
