The MCN Taiwan Collection Management System SIG strives to achieve effective management of museum collections via information technology, and engages in theory studies and practical exchanges of museum collection management systems as an active effort to boost the professional development of museum registration and management affairs, which can be further developed into professional communities. The SIG in 2010 has arranged three workshop series in Taichung, Taipei and Kaohsiung, hoping they will serve as a catalyst and platform for professional discussions, exchanges, support and learning related to museum collection registration and management.
This workshop series (II) will be held in Taipei (Day 1 in Chang Foundation Museum; Day 2 in the National Palace Museum) and focus on “practices of the registration and management of art museum collections.” Workshops are jointly organized by the Chang Foundation Museum, National Palace Museum, Fu Jen Catholic University Graduate Institute of Museum Studies, and MCN Taiwan Collection Management System SIG; Associate Professor Mei Campbell, who is an anthropology and textile researcher at the Museum of Texas Tech University will visit Taiwan to engage in professional exchanges with domestic specialists and scholars, and lead front line museum registration workers (including Deputy Director Kui-Ying Laio and Mr. Shun-Cheng Wang of the Chang Foundation Museum, Miss Pei-Chi Shu, Miss Tzu-Ying Chen, Mr. Li-Heng Li, Mr. Tun-Yao Tang and Assistant Research Fellow Pang-Yen Cheng of the National Palace Museum) through two days of workshop practices; collections of the Chang Foundation Museum for teaching purpose will be used for practices. These arrangements aim to enhance the collection registration and management competencies of domestic museum workers, and to provide an exchange platform that will broaden their international perspectives. Collection registration workers in public and private cultural institutions, members of the MCN Taiwan Collection Management System SIG, members of the Chinese Association of Museums Collection Security and Protection Committee, and anyone who is interested in this topic is welcome to apply for participation.
