Since the first edition was published in 1958, Museum Registration
Methods has defined the profession and served as a fundamental
reference to all aspects of collections registration, care, and
management. The sixth edition of Museum Registration Methods is a
comprehensive guide to registration and collections management of
museum collections, from acquisition, use, and deaccessioning. The
authors and other contributors come from a wide variety of museums
and specializations. The 56 chapters in this edition are either new
or updated, and include the history of the profession, the role of
the registrar in the museum, managing very large collections,
developing and implementing collection management policies,
documentation of collections, accessioning, condition reports,
deaccessioning, repositories, and provenance research. Contemporary
and digital art, living and natural history collections, loans,
exhibitions, found-in-collection objects, shipping, records
management, and electronic data management are also addressed,
along with object handling and numbering, digitization, condition
reporting, preventive care, storage on and off-site, inventory,
moving and packing, shipping nationally and internationally,
couriering, risk assessment, security, insurance, integrated pest
management, ethics, sustainability, sacred and culturally sensitive
objects, intellectual property rights, appraisal, ethical and legal
issues, and research. The book includes a comprehensive resource
list, glossary, hypothetical situations to ponder, and model
collection forms.
