COLLECTIONS/ MUSEUM COLLECTING POLICIES
What is a Collecting Policy?
A collecting policy is a public document that defines the museums scope of collecting. It aims
to encourage confidence in the museum as a suitable repository for objects and to outline the
collecting interest of that particular museum.
Why do Museums need a Collecting Policy?
Having a clear understanding of what your museum collects helps to avoid duplication with other
museums. It also assists the public in understanding why certain donations are not accepted.
