Condition
Project Activities
After an audit of the collection was undertaken on site at MAAS, the collection was uplifted to ICS and information was exported from the MAAS collection system into a spreadsheet. A condition assessment was performed on each item, with data recorded and cross-checked with the MAAS data spreadsheet. Any objects in need of conservation treatment were provided recommendations.
The collection was then sorted into accession order and re-housed in new archival mylar sheets and binders and paired with their associated Tyvek barcodes.
Each of the objects was digitised by Datacom IT in a high-quality image, capturing both sides where necessary. These images were then transferred to MAAS for ingestion into their collection system.
