## Description

A full valuation exercise of the entire museum collections was conducted in 2012/13\. Our insurers require that valuations are updated every 3-4 years and so an update is now due\. Update to museum collections valuations for insurance purposes\. Collections include: • Fine Art including oil paintings, watercolours, sculpture and prints including the German Expressionist collection\. • Decorative and World Arts comprising furniture, European and Oriental ceramics, jewellery, costume and textiles, glass, silver and craft items\. • Social History including the Regimental collection of medals, silver and other ephemera\. • Technology including beam engines, road vehicles, typewriters and radios\. • Antiquities including coins, clocks and Egyptology\. • Archaeology including Roman pottery and mosaics\. • Natural Sciences including geology and taxidermy\. We need individual valuations for every item worth £10,000 or more and bulk valuations by type for everything else\. The collections were valued in 2012/13 and so this should mostly be a desk-based exercise to go through those valuations and update them, plus add on any items that now come into the £10,000\+ bracket\. At present, there are approx\. 700 items individually listed, of which nearly 500 are Fine Art\. Two areas that need assessing from scratch are a collection of jewellery and the oriental ceramics\.
