The Canadian Council of Archives (CCA),  in partnership with the National Archival Appraisal Board (NAAB), is proud to announce the new 3-session webinar series  NAAB Bootcamp (disponible en anglais seulement)

Monetary appraisal  is a key element of archival donor relations and collections development, but how is monetary appraisal done? How should your institution prepare for monetary appraisal of a fonds/collection? 
How is fair market value determined when archival materials are unique by definition, and few sales records are available from auctions, used book stores, or price guides?

NAAB appraisers provide a professional opinion of value for various reasons.  The NAAB Bootcamp has been designed specifically for highly motivated people seeking:  to learn more about monetary appraisal;  
to help institutions acquire donations of cultural property as gifts in kind; and to work effectively with donors.  Please join us, from the comfort of your own office or boardroom, to learn the essentials of monetary appraisal .  
This webinar series offers a combination of theory, practical skills and tools shared by an experienced NAAB appraiser.  You will also take an active part in an exercise using appraisal examples.

About NAAB
The National Archival Appraisal Board (NAAB) was formed in 1976 after the Federal  government began encouraging donations in-kind of cultural property to public and charitable institutions across the wide heritage field, including archives.   NAAB became an independent organization in 1983, and has since maintained the objectives: to serve the need for reasonably priced appraisal services amongst repositories; to promote greater understanding among those working with archival materials; and, to provide a balanced approach to the appraisal process by the inclusion of archivists, dealers and others familiar with the value of archival documents. NAAB appoints committees to examine archival materials, determine their value, and prepare reports regarding their fair market value. In accordance with current regulations, an institution can then issue a donor a receipt for the value stated on the appraisal report.
