The Special Collections Handbook, Third Edition is a comprehensive and practical resource covering all aspects of collections work. Written by a practitioner with many years' experience in collections management, the Handbook provides detailed coverage of collections care, security, emergency planning, collections development, cataloguing, metadata and digitisation, and legal and ethical issues. Best practice in public access is explored through various lenses: marketing, visitor services, teaching and learning, and outreach to wider audiences. Finally, the institutional context is considered: staffing and space, inreach and advocacy, fundraising and the importance of impact. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect the growth and dynamism of the sector and the complexity of the environment, including: Enriched and updated guidance on decolonising collections management and all other elements of special collections work, Working towards zero-carbon buildings, preservation and other aspects of collections management, Lessons/impact of Covid-19: managing remote access by staff and users, emergency planning, health and safety, risk assessments.
