Session Abstract
How old is your organization's collection development policy? The majority of archives, museums, and cultural heritage organizations are due for a collection development policy overhaul. If your organization's policy is even a few years old, then chances are it's not centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. The truth is, our collections have been monotone. Do we need to rethink our collecting strategies and prioritize the balancing of our collections to be truly representative? Not sure where to start? Start here. We're going to cover strategies for evolving collection development policies and even how to meet the inevitable resistance that comes up during this work.
