Conjuring the Spirits of Success - Heritage Wins the Day

Conjuring the Spirits of Success - Heritage Wins the Day

A look at how to successfully develop heritage material from your archival collection. Focusing in on four types of organizations we show how successful strategies are really a matter of knowing your customer and providing the convenience of access:

1) Large collection, many partners

2) Large collection, few partners

3) Small collection, many partners

4) Small collection, few partners. Examples are taken from across North America, Europe and Africa.

Specifically how to maintain the balance with preserving the integrity of mission statement and collection with the needs of partners and our clients.
