Abstract
This paper examines the acquisition policy and accession procedures for artifacts at the Egyptian Museum of Cairo (EMC). The EMC collection follows well-established curatorial practices, and it has undergone significant improvements in collecting, inventorying, and collection man-agement. In spite of the fact that the collection is well managed and documented following professional standards, a written policy for acquisitions and documentation continues to be sought. Over the past decade, the museum has lost many curators, which has resulted in a reduction in the transmission of curatorial traditions due to a lack of written policies for collection and acquisition. The paper aims to collect, analyze, and enhance procedures, guidelines, and practices related to collecting and accessioning objects. In addition, this paper aims to identify, investigate, and explain the main issues involved. In conclusion, it emphasizes the importance of implementing written policies for acquisition and collection that facilitate the management of the collection and its scope.
