Arch202: Archival Appraisal (Monetary)
January 26th – 27th, 2008
All individuals working with heritage
institutions should have a working knowledge of the value of the various items
in their collections. This helps when determining standard insurance
coverage for the Archives. As well, it is beneficial to know monetary
value when trying to determine if a particular donation might warrant evaluation
for a taxation project receipt or when negotiation a suitable price with those
who might be interested in selling a collection or special item to the
Archives. In combination with the coverage of Evidential and
Informational Appraisal in Arch101, this workshop will help an archivist to
better appreciate the collection in his or her care.

if not more so. This course covers the application of RAD to the
description of photographs, artwork, elevations, maps and plans. Students
