In this dissertation, a high-level management strategy was developed for the
museums and collections of the University of Pretoria. Specific areas where
improvements to the current operations of the University museums can be made, were
identified and solutions proposed. This analysis was based on a survey of the current
operations of the University museums, as well as an analysis of the needs of all
stakeholder groups.
Proposals to improve the operation of the University museums include the following:
- Rationalising collections to ensure that available technical and organisational
resources are focused on the most valuable collections;
- Improving the use and maintenance of collections to ensure that the needs of
stakeholders are met;
- Ensuring that sufficient financial and organisational resources are mobilised to
support the operations of the museums.
A brief overview of the steps needed to implement these proposals and to adjust the
management strategy on an ongoing basis, is given. The author believes that the
implementation of the proposals outlined in this report can contribute towards ensuring
that the museums of the University of Pretoria help to fulfil the overall mission and
vision of the University of Pretoria. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2001. / Historical and Heritage Studies / unrestricted
