***Catch up on #ARCSchat***
#ARCSchat released a special podcast episode “Dragon Psychology 102:
Experts React to Revisionist History Podcast “Dragon Psychology 101”

Deaccessioning is not new, but it has reached new levels of controversy in
the current state of economic hardship facing our institutions. In “Dragon
Psychology 101”, the first episode of season 5 of the podcast Revisionist
History, Malcolm Gladwell asks the question, ”Why not just sell something
to pay the bills?” and proposes that museums are hoarding if they refuse to
sell amidst trying circumstances that result in mass layoffs and financial
hardship.

#ARCSchat has solicited the help of two experts to react to the episode and
directly address this challenging question. Robin Cooper, the Manager of
Curatorial Affairs at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, joins to
represent the curatorial and cultural interests at play. Nicholas
O’Donnell, partner at the law firm Sullivan & Worcester in Boston, will
provide legal insight. Mr. O’Donnell argued on behalf of the museum
membership in the landmark Berkshire Museum deaccession case and recently
presented in front of the Supreme Court of the United States.

[MCN-L] Use of Stored Collections survey

[Trilce Navarrete]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to invite you to assist in the dissemination of this study:

The Erasmus University Rotterdam in collaboration with the Universitat
Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) - as related to a PhD research -
are conducting a survey on the stored collections of museums across the
world. Knowing that the larger portion of the collections is stored, this
survey will gather data about:
- The type and condition of collections stored;
- The type of storage available; and
- The services provided to access stored collections.

Your participation in this survey will support understanding of the current
practices and challenges faced to increase access to collections,
particularly those currently in storage. Your answers will be kept
anonymous and all results will be reported in aggregated form.

The deadline to send your response is 24 January 2021.

We thank you for taking part in this study.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the
researchers involved at navarr...@eshcc.eur.nl and laracor...@uic.es.
