Museums and the Future of Collecting by Simon J. Knell

What and how museums should collect is the question that the contributors to this study consider as they acknowledge the financial and social realities, limitations and complexities of the world in which they operate. This book encourages museums to move away from the collecting of isolated tokens; to move beyond the collecting policy and to understand more clearly the intellectual function of what they do. Examples are given from Australia, Sweden, Canada, Spain, Britain and Croatia which provide this intellectual understanding and many practical tools for evaluating a future collecting strategy.
