Starting in April 2024, experienced Collections Advisor and author of Contemporary Issues in Rare Book & Manuscript Collecting, Spencer W Stuart will facilitate monthly, three-part webinars for Collectors at three major points:

 

• EMERGING (1 – 5 years): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/814454775157?aff=oddtdtcreator

 

04/10 – What is collecting?

05/08 – Implementing a strategy

06/12 – Cataloguing & collection care

 

• EXPANDING (5 – 20 years): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/814463651707?aff=oddtdtcreator

 

04/17 – Defining scope & scale

05/15 – On auctions & trade

06/19 – New collecting focuses

 

• LEGACY (20 years +): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/814437022057?aff=oddtdtcreator

 

04/24 – Planning your collection’s future

05/22 – Where & how to sell

Through these hour-long sessions, participants will examine case studies relevant to acquiring as well as deaccessioning one’s collection.

 

After this three-part program, no matter where one is in their collecting, participants will emerge with a holistic approach that better positions them for the transformations underway in the Collecting ecosystem.
