Description

Explore new perspectives on museum management with Active Collections by Routledge. While many museums have updated how they engage with the public, the methods used for collections stewardship have often remained stagnant. This book addresses that gap by examining current approaches and proposing practical, radical ways to manage collections more effectively. Written from a position of "tough love," the authors look at how museums can better manage their holdings to actively advance their specific missions. By questioning rigid traditions, this work offers a path forward for institutions looking to evolve their stewardship practices. It is a necessary read for professionals in archaeology, social sciences, and museum studies who want to understand how to move beyond outdated constraints and implement meaningful changes in collection management.
