5. ICN research program CRM Develop user friendly method for CRM by practical tools (e.g. risk maps) Disseminate the method, knowledge and tools by presentations, workshops and publications (Collection Risk Management Handbook)

6. Heritage profession Goals: Passing on cultural heritage collections to next generations with maximum values and maximum access, now and in the future Taking well-considered decisions about the spending of means to reach that goal Setting priorities!

7. Hk hk Identify risks Evaluate risks Collection risk management Analyse risks Risk assessment Treat risks Establish the context Communicate and consult Monitor and review Based on AS/NZS 4360:2004 Risk Management Options for risk reduction Preventive & interventive conservation Implement Emergency preparedness & response

8. Agents of deterioration After Michalski and Waller 1. Physical forces 2. Fire 3. Water 4. Thieves and vandals 5. Pest and plants 6. Radiation 7. Contamination 8. Incorrect Temp 9. Incorrect RH 10. Dissociation Security Facilities Preventive conservation Collections Registration

9. Types of risk After Waller Mild Significant Catastrophic Disasters Incidents Degradation processes RareSporadicContinual Impact Probability

10. Risk is Probability X Impact Likelihood X Consequence Chance X Effect How soon? X How bad? the possibility of loss Scenario of cultural value

11. All the zillion causes and sources All the zillion effects and losses

13. Cause or source Barrier 1 Effect or damage Barrier 2 Barrier 3 How often? How effective are these barriers? How does damage look? What is the loss of value to each affected object? Which barriers are there? How much of collection value will be affected? Object Which objects damaged?
