Collections Advisor and author of CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN RARE BOOK & MANUSCRIPT COLLECTING, Spencer W Stuart will facilitate three week, three-part webinars for Legacy Collectors.

Through these hour-long sessions, participants will examine case studies relevant to developing a sound and sustainable deaccesioning strategy for one's collection:

01/09 – Planning your collection’s future

After this three-part program, participants will have a holistic approach that better positions them for the transformations underway in the Collecting ecosystem.
