This one day seminar will explore the risk-based approach to
collections care and application of risk management methodology in
practice.

Agnes Brokerhof will discuss the application of risk management in
the cultural heritage field and how heritage organisations can use
it to prioritise their limited resources and reduce risks that have
the greatest impact on collections preservation. Andor Vince will
present a case study in managing risks to collections applying the
methodology developed by the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI)
and the Cultural Heritage Agency for the Netherlands (RCE). Dr Anna
Bulow will present a model used to measure cost-effectiveness in
health care and its potential to inform decisions in collection
management, which was developed jointly by RCE and the National
Archives.

In the afternoon participants will take part in a risk assessment
exercise and will have an opportunity to discuss issues in
collections care such as strategic planning, prioritisation and
cost-effective resource allocation.
