"Join the dots" collections assessment exercise

The files submitted here form the backbone to a 2018 collections assessment exercise at the Natural History Museum and support a methodology paper submitted to Museum Management and Curatorship. They include: a document to help define collections units, an Excel spread sheet for gathering data about each unit, a Manual for scorers, a document listing and illustrating cabinet types with their suggested scores to aid consistent scoring, some screen shots of the internally available Power BI dashboard, item type and preservation look-ups and a list of numbers of specimens in the museum broken down to sectional level.
