Collection Needs Assessment

As part of my Management of Preservation Programs course I conducted a Collection Needs Assessment based on a dossier of an institution given by the instructor (conducting an assessment for a local institution was not an option due to COVID). In this report, I discuss the institution's:

• Current Preservation Management (Policies and Disaster Plan/Emergency Preparedness)

• Environmental Conditions (Including Temperature, relative humidity, pests, and mold)

• Collection (its condition, repair programs, and staff training).

As well as providing recommendations and goals (both short and long term) for the institution based on its size and budget.
