OREGON HERITAGE NEW RESOURCE! The Heritage Organization's Guide to Creating and Cleaning Up Collection Information
The Heritage Organization's Guide to Creating and Cleaning Up Collection Information<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/TechnicalResources.aspx#datacleanup> was developed in response to those looking to create a system to preserve and track the information about their collection or those that want to cleanup their systems full of collection information that may be inconsistent or inaccurate with staff/volunteer turnover over time.
This guide will help:

  *   Demystify jargon and standards associated with maintaining a database or system of collection information
  *   Illustrate the power of good collection information (data) and the many ways good data can help your organization accomplish its mission
  *   Provide a guide to creating your organization's collection information (data) guide
  *   Provide a path for reviewing, assessing, and cleaning up your collection information (data)
  *   And for those using PastPerfect, this guide includes a case study that includes the review, assessment, and cleanup plan for a heritage organization using PastPerfect.
This project was funded by the Oregon Cultural Trust. Credits also include Relicura as a content contributor to the Guide and consultant that conducted and documented the PastPerfect Case Study and Northwest Digital Heritage for review, feedback, and editing.
How to use this guide?
If your organization is interested in creating a system to manage information (data) about your collection, you can use this guide to:

  *   Understand the importance of documenting consistent data about your collection.
  *   Make decisions on the structure of your system to create and manage collection data.
  *   Create a guide for your organization on how to put information into that structure.
  *   Consider what kind of access you want to provide to your collection information and how to provide that access.
  *   And if you are interested in choosing a collection management system, this guide can provide guidance on what to consider.
If your organization is already using a system, you can use this guide to:

  *   Understand the importance of documenting consistent information about your collection.
  *   Make decisions on the structure of your system to create and manage collection data.
  *   Consider what kind of access you want to provide to your collection information and how to provide that access.
  *   Create a guide for your organization on how to put information into that structure.
  *   Review, assess and prioritize your current collection information compared to your guide.
  *   Choose and implement a strategy for cleaning up your collection information
  *   And if you decide you want to change your data management system, this guide can provide guidance on what to consider.
