An Integrated Approach to Risk Assessments and Condition Surveys

چکیده

This article discusses the integration of risk assessment and collection condition surveys, with reference to the uncertainties inherent in each of these two procedures. While condition surveys provide information on a collection’s immediate condition, risk assessments add predictive aspects on the collection’s potential for deterioration. Looking at probable causes of damage in a condition assessment can provide a link to the agents of deterioration examined in a risk assessment. Combining these two complementary assessments can provide useful insights and clarify priorities for the collection’s management goals. Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of two types of evaluation processes in visual perception, top-down and bottom-up, are discussed as they apply to the integration of the two assessments. Additionally, the article describes the use of an integrated assessment approach for a survey of the English Heritage collections. In conclusion, it was found that integrating condition surveys with risk assessments could increase the knowledge and understanding of current and future expectations of a collection. TITRE—Une approche intégrée pour l’évaluation des risques et de l’état des collections. RÉSUMÉ— Cet article traite de l’intégration de l’évaluation des risques et de l’état des collections en faisant référence aux incertitudes inhérentes à chacun de ces processus. Alors que l’évaluation de l’état des collections fournit de l’information sur la situation actuelle d’une collection, l’évaluation des risques prédit les possibilités de détérioration d’une collection. Examiner les causes probables de dommage lors d’une évaluation de l’état des collections peut permettre de faire des liens entre ces causes et les agents de détérioration considérés au cours d’une évaluation des risques. Joindre ces deux évaluations complémentaires peut donner un aperçu utile et aider à identifier des priorités afin d’atteindre les objectifs de gestion de collection. Une comparaison est faite des avantages et désavantages des deux types de processus d’évaluation reliées à la perception visuelle, soit directe ou indirecte, tel qu’ils sont appliqués à l’intégration des ces deux types d’évaluation. L’article décrit aussi l’usage d’une approche d’évaluation intégrée pour les collection de English Heritage (Patrimoine d’Angleterre). En conclusion, on démontre qu’en intégrant une évaluation de l’état des collections avec une évaluation des risques, on peut accroître la connaissance et la compréhension des attentes courantes et futures d’une collection. TITULO—Enfoque integrado de las evaluaciones de riesgo y encuestas de condición. RESUMEN—Este artículo discute la integración de las evaluaciones de riesgo y las encuestas de condición de colecciones, con referencia a las incertidumbres propias de cada uno de estos dos procedimientos. Mientras que las encuestas de condición proveen información sobre las condiciones inmediatas de las colecciones, las evaluaciones de riesgo le suman aspectos predictivos al potencial de deterioro de las colecciones. Mirar hacia las causas probables de daño en una encuesta de condición puede proveer un enlace con los agentes de deterioro que se examinan en la evaluación de riesgo. La combinación de estas evaluaciones complementarias puede proveer una comprensión útil y clarificar prioridades para los objetivos de gestión de las colecciones. La comparación de las ventajas y desventajas de los dos tipos de procedimientos de evaluación en cuanto a percepción visual, de arriba a abajo y de abajo hacia arriba, son discutidas en lo referente a su aplicación para la integración de las dos evaluaciones.Adicionalmente, el artículo describe el uso de un enfoque integrado de evaluación para el inventario de las colecciones de English Heritage (Patrimonio Inglés). En conclusión, se encontró que integrando las encuestas de condición con las evaluaciones de riesgo, se puede aumentar el conocimiento y el entendimiento de las expectativas actuales y futuras de una colección. TÍTULO—Uma Visão Integrada Sobre aValia Ções de Riscos e Levantamentos do Estado de Coleções. RESUMO—Este artigo discute a integração da avalição de risco e do levantamento do estado de coleções, com referência `as incertezas inerentes a cada um destes
