2.1 Collections Management
We are interested in which published collections management standards are in use in your country and also any unpublished in-house or evolving standards. These may take the form of procedures, rules or guidelines.

This table includes an example of a UK collections management standard. Please indicate if this is used in your country by entering the number of museums using this standard, the number of objects covered and note usage by any significant collections (please specify why).

Continue using the space provided entering details of all other collections management standards in use in your country. Include the standard name, indicate the type (de jure, de facto or evolving), the total number of museums using each, the total number of objects covered and note usage by any significant collections (please specify why).

As data is submitted it will be transferred to an on-line results page, one per country, accessible to all Active Partners. You can review your results on-line, and also access the data capture forms from the results page using the button.
