ABSTRACTThis article presents the results of a global, cross-cultural survey conducted by ICCROM that invited people from all walks of life to describe the impacts that cultural heritage collections have on their lives. The qualitative responses of nearly 2,400 collected surveys were coded to extract main themes, which were subsequently analysed against respondents' ages, geographic distribution, and occupations using asymmetrical correspondence analysis. Across eight main themes, this research explores recurring justifications observed in the survey data describing how heritage collections were perceived to impact – or not impact – people's lives, considering variance across different demographic groups. It further engages contemporary heritage debates to discuss what the results might say about the actual and potential roles of heritage collections in today's global societies, as well as some possible implications on their management.KEYWORDS: Cultural heritagecollectionspeople-centredvalues AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank everyone in ICCROM's global network who helped disseminate the survey, in particular those who contributed to its translation into different languages.

The molecular mass distributions (MMD) of celluloses from paper and other sources were determined by size exclusion electrochromatography (SEEC). Prior to the separation the celluloses were chemically modified with phenyl isocyanate into their tricarbanilate derivatives (CTC). Sensitive UV detection of the CTC could be performed at a wavelength of 210 nm. The solvent used for separation was acetone. With this solvent, a high electroosmotic flow could be generated in columns packed with bare silica particles. With a column packed with particles with a nominal pore size of 30 nm, use of a mobile phase with a salt concentration of 0.1 mM was found to be optimal with respect to mass selectivity and efficiency. The workable mass range under these conditions was from 2 kDa to at least 500 kDa for (native) celluloses. The SEEC method was compared to classical pressure-driven size exclusion chromatography (PD-SEC). It is shown that the two methods give comparable results for the MMD of celluloses, while SEEC has important advantages in terms of speed and sample consumption. With SEEC, the analysis time was less than 20 min. The method was applied for the study of cellulose degradation during (artificial) aging of paper samples. A clear reduction of the average molecular mass of cellulose during aging was observed. With SEEC, the required sample amount is strongly reduced compared to classical PD-SEC. With a single paper fiber (after derivatization), multiple analyses could be carried out. It is argued that this is not only important for the analysis of unique objects but that it also allows the detection of MMD heterogeneities on a microscale. The strong reduction in sample size may be relevant when local heterogeneities in other types of polymer samples are studied.
Collections-based organizations (CBOs) can play a crucial role in addressing sustainable development (SD), but their aspiration to become more sustainable, as seen in policies and guidelines, is confronted with several challenges in practice. To facilitate a sustainability transition, this process of change needs to be managed and adequate tools adopted and implemented. Many tools exist to support this transition; however, a scarcity of centralized resources available to CBOs might negatively affect the integration of sustainability practices in their work. With the aim to address this gap, ICCROM launched the project “Our Collections Matter” (OCM) and developed an online toolkit (OCMT) to centralize resources and help CBOs align their work to the UN Agenda 2030. Recently, a workshop was organized with professionals in the field to discuss shared challenges and aspirations and to test the OCMT. This study reflects on how such centralization of resources can contribute to overcoming existing challenges and support the sustainability aspirations of CBOs, fostering change in the field. To do that, the workshop outcomes are analyzed and discussed from a change management perspective, looking at the impact that the OCM project and its activities can have on fostering change, and the role that ICCROM can play in facilitating the sustainability transition of the field.
Este manual ofrece una comprensión integral de la gestión de riesgos aplicada a la preservación de bienes patrimoniales, ya sean colecciones, edificios o sitios. Proporciona un procedimiento paso a paso y una variedad de herramientas para guiar al profesional del patrimonio en la aplicación del método ABC a su propio contexto. El método se puede aplicar a una variedad de situaciones, desde el análisis de un solo riesgo hasta una evaluación integral del riesgo de todo el acervo patrimonial.
