Museum Registration Methods

The first new edition in a decade of this now-famous "Bible of the museum registrar." Rewritten, expanded and fully updated, MRM5 encompasses all that needs to be known and done when a museum accessions, measures, marks, moves, displays or stores an object or artifact of any kind. MRM5 includes expert advice from more than 60 acknowledged leaders in their disciplines. New with the 5th Edition are special teaching sections that challenge students and seasoned staff alike with questions about the process and procedures of accessioning and caring for objects. Contains bibliography, glossary and multiple sample forms.MRM5 continues a tradition of museum publishing that began with the inaugural edition in 1958. Published in cooperation with RC-AAM, the Registrars Committee of AAM.

MRM5 gives us the foremost example I can cite of the best minds in the field working together continuously for the benefit of all our museums and the publics we serve. The collective wisdom of more than 100 registrars and other experts is found on the pages of this book. It belongs on a shelf, within easy reach, in every museum. --Ford W. Bell, President, American Association of Museums
