The first new edition in a decade of this now-famous “Bible of the museum registrar”. Rewritten, expanded and fully updated, “MRM5” encompasses all that needs to be known and done when a museum accessions, measures, marks, moves, displays or stores an object or artifact of any kind. “MRM5” includes expert advice from more than 60 acknowledged leaders in their disciplines. New with the 5th Edition are special teaching sections that challenge students and seasoned staff alike with questions about the process and procedures of accessioning and caring for objects. Contains bibliography, glossary and multiple sample forms.

“MRM5” continues a tradition of museum publishing that began with the inaugural edition in 1958. Published in cooperation with RC-AAM, the Registrars Committee of AAM.
