NEXT STEPS - INVENTORY & ASSESSMENT

[CURRENTLY FUNDRAISING FOR THIS PHASE]
In order to formally consider acquiring the collection, institutions have asked for an INVENTORY & ASSESSMENT of its contents. Information gathered from this process will enable a future home for the collection to assess its ability to accept a collection of this size and what will be needed to further process its material through each stage of becoming a living archive. With more than a million objects and images, this process will require a small staff, larger work space and professional expertise. This step is often done in collaboration with an institution that has interest in acquiring the collection to ensure that all questions, from the scope of the collection’s contents to mechanics of acquisition are addressed and resolved.
