Hi all I am curious to know about the number of donations museums have coming in and how you manage their receipting and assessment. At the Australian War Memorial we are offered (on average) 50,000-60,000 items each year. The majority of these come (unsolicited) from the public and collections can contain 2 items or thousands. I would like to start talking on a regular basis to other organisations on how they manage their donation offers, both physically and in their CMS. Reply in here or email me [email protected]
