[BCMA] Collections Documentation Survey

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Deborah, 

This is an important topic, and I would be willing to take the survey, but there is no way I can schedule anything at the end of the semester. I will be out of the country as soon as my grades are in. If you want to follow up in January, please do so.

Subject: [BCMA] Collections Documentation Survey 



Hello! 



My name is Deborah Scott and I teach in the museum programs at Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario. 



During my sabbatical this year, I’m examining the subject of in-depth documentation of museum collections. 



Specifically, I am interested in learning more about: 




    * The extent of in-depth information that currently exists in collection records 
    * What steps museums can take to document in-depth knowledge about their collections so that it is preserved and accessible. 





To that end, I’d very much appreciate your taking the time to complete a short survey before December 18, 2015 . The survey can be accessed by clicking on this link: 



https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KRLFQPB 



All responses will be kept confidential, and the outcome of this project - a resource to help museums document their collections in ways that support sharing object stories - will focus on trends and best practices rather than individual institutions. 



Thanks so much for your help! 



Sincerely, 



Deb Scott
