Subject: Conservation needs assessment
I am working on some research into the value/drawbacks of trying to develop an object condition assessment protocol/tool that would span libraries, museums, and archives. As a library person, I am relatively familiar with a number of projects, both large and small, that cover library and archive materials, but am having trouble finding similar resources for fine arts, anthropological, archaeological, or other 'museum type' collections. I assume that these must exist? Several passes through BCIN, CoOL, the AIC wiki and other known sources have not turned much up either. I am looking specifically for object level condition assessments, not overall preservation assessments of an institution. Any help in pointing me towards resources, either web or publications, is much appreciated.
