USING OUR SERVICES
To obtain an appraisal, the institution makes a request to the Regional Director (or his assistant).
At that point, the repository must:
- own the material to be appraised and be in a position to show a duly signed donation contract;
- ensure that it is arranged and accessible to permit orderly examination;
- have completed the archival appraisal of the donation indicating which material has been kept of the original donation and which items have been discarded
- send copies of the background information, archival appraisal report and finding aids (at least preliminary ones) to the regional director or to the chair of the appraisal committee at least 10 days in advance of the session, to permit the committee members to prepare themselves, and
- provide suitable space for the committee’s work.
Upon reception of a request from an institution, each director (or assistant director) schedules an appraisal session and appoints the members of the Appraisal Committee for that session.
NAAB is represented in six
regions. They can be contacted by e-mail.
