ARCH 202 – Archival Appraisal
(Monetary): 26-27 January 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
receipt or when negotiating 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 ARCH 101, this
workshop will help an archivist to better appreciate the collection in his or
her care.
