Collections Trust Books
The Collections Trust is developing a new series of publications to give practitioners, volunteers and students the skills they need to manage their collections effectively.

Further titles will be published over the coming months, including Copyright: a practical guide.
Documentation: a practical guide

Documentation: a practical guide is the essential first stop for anyone wishing to manage a museum collection and its documentation to a high standard. For those with no previous museum experience it presents the basics of documentation clearly and concisely, and for those with more experience it provides an easy-reference guide to good documentation.
