  • More about the Monetary Appraisal Webinar series

    These webinars are hosted by PNAs who will select archival records from their respective institutions for a monetary appraisal exercise. They are intended to be one hour in length and will involve a specific group of records, which may consist of photographs, plans, textual records, AV materials, etc. Participants provide appraisal criteria and comments based on their experience and knowledge, to foster a dialogue to enhance skills and techniques in carrying out monetary appraisals of archival records.

    Participants are expected to do preparatory work, involving determining whether or not there are any sales comparables (auction sites and potential markets) and if not, what other criteria might be applied to ascertain a potential value.

    Registrants will receive a finding aid for the records, including an administrative history or a biographical sketch, and other related materials in advance of the webinar. The presenter will open the webinar with a brief overview of the records and some questions to stimulate the discussion.
