Assessing Risks to Your Collection
Wednesday, June 9, 2004; 9 am-5 pm
$120

Despite our best intentions, there will always be risks to
collections. Against which threats should you prepare?  At what
cost?  This workshop offers a method of assessing risks to
collections in a team-based format. Participants will learn to 1)
identify the risks to which collections are exposed, which agents
are responsible, and how types of risks differ;  2) assess the
relative importance of risks; and 3) understand how risk assessment
can be used to set institutional priorities for conservation. The
workshop is a highly interactive training session which includes
both theoretical and practical components and in which the
participants play an important part.  Ideas are explored through
lectures, demonstrations, brainstorming in small groups, assembling
of ideas, presentation, and discussion.
