ART 245 Principles of Collection Management

Principles of Collection Management is designed to prepare students with knowledge and experience of the best practices of collection care and record management. In this course, we will cover the ethical obligations that guide collections duties and the associated care activities. These include cataloging, accessioning and deaccessioning, condition reporting, loans, art handling, storage, packing and shipping. Legal issues such as copyrights, repatriation, and provenance will be discussed. The emphasis of this course will be on practical skills, which we will apply in a set of hands-on projects related to the care and management of the University of Tampa Permanent Collection.
