[can-talk] Collections Council of Australia - Significance 2.0 publication

Dear Colleague,

 

The Collections Council of Australia is producing a second edition of the
publication Significance: A
<http://www.collectionsaustralia.net/sector_info_item/5>  guide to assessing
the significance of cultural heritage objects and collections (2001). The
book was well received by museums and galleries both in Australia and
overseas and its significance assessment methodology has been effectively
used by collecting organisations to determine priorities for their
collections.

 

The second edition, titled Significance 2.0, is intended to incorporate
refinements in the methodology, to extend its relevance from museums and
galleries to archives and libraries, and to update references. Significance
2.0 will be available in print and online publication forms in December
2008. In April, a Significance 2.0 workshop was held to help guide revision
of the book. A number of the papers presented at the Workshop are now
available for viewing on the Collections Council's website by clicking HERE
<http://www.collectionscouncil.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=563> .

 

We invite you to comment and/or rate individual articles, or to provide more
general feedback to the Significance 2.0 Project Team. We also encourage you
to forward this message to other colleagues who may be interested in the
subjects of movable cultural heritage significance assessment, or the
convergence of collecting domains.

 

Sincerely,

 

Collections Council of Australia
