Registration Methods for the Small Museum (American Association for State and Local History)

Daniel B Reibel's Registration Methods for the Small Museum has been the definitive guide to registration methodology since 1978. Covering all aspects of the registration of museum collections, it provides practical solutions for any museum professional in a concise, readable manner. The step-by-step guide begins with developing policy, and then takes the reader through acquisition, numbering, accessioning, documentation, loans, and decessioning - all of the steps necessary to establish and maintain a registration system. The fourth edition brings the classic handbook up-to-date with the electronic registration techniques that are available for today's museum.

Daniel B Reibel has spent his 5o-year career in the museum community at the Detroit Historical Museum, the Allen County-Fort Wayne Historical Society, the Old Barracks Museum, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and the Mercer Museum, Bucks County Historical Society.
