Collections Care and Stewardship: Innovative Approaches for Museums
considers best practices and innovations related to documenting
collections with regard to movement and safe handling of items for
transport, display, photography, and treatment; collections
storage; and information-sharing within and beyond the museum. The
case studies in this volume examine best practices and innovations
related to collections with regard to display, interpretation,
engagement, storage, conservation treatment, and preservation.
Several chapters address undergraduate and graduate coursework and
internship experiences in a variety of contexts to offer best
practices as well as evaluation of such training opportunities. All
of these case studies ask us to think about the responsibilities
that we have, as museum professionals, to be stewards-a challenge
for all of us in terms of the obligations and responsibilities
therein, but also in terms of the challenge to frame our
collections as having the capacity to reflect as well as inspire.
The Innovative Approaches for Museums series offers case studies,
written by scholars and practitioners from museums, galleries, and
other institutions, that showcase the original, transformative, and
sometimes wholly re-invented methods, techniques, systems,
theories, and actions that demonstrate innovative work being done
in the museum and cultural sector throughout the world. The authors
come from a variety of institutions-in size, type, budget,
audience, mission, and collection scope. Each volume offers ideas
and support to those working in museums while serving as a resource
and primer, as much as inspiration, for students and the museum
staff and faculty training future professionals who will further
develop future innovative approaches. Contributions by: Jennifer
