Create a standardized format for Collections roles

Please hash this out here so we can all see how it would look in Wiki mark up.

• Have a looking at Ceo as a example.
• Make internal links to other Wikipedia articles when possible to add specificity to your article.

Lead paragraph 3-5 sentences that tells everything you need to know about the role.

Knowledge, abilities, and skills

As I write an entry for Textile Conservator, I struggle with the concept of this being a separate category from Education and training. It would be nice to dialog on this category regarding its necessity as standard format. It seems to me this should be a subset of Education or vice versa. I'm not grasping the reasoning in them being separate categories. StaceyJHU (talk) 21:27, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

External links

These are links to main sources that are either so significant that they need their own link, or were not "referenced" in the article.

For Conservation Scientist (my role), I was also thinking of adding an Instrumentation and uses section and perhaps a History section too if I could find enough information. Notable Individuals is also a frequent category on occupation description pages. Any suggestions or thoughts? Mmarley3 (talk) 14:00, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

I think what we have here is a really good start. My topic is similar to Meghan's (my role is Conservation technician) and so I agree with her suggestions of adding "Instrumentation and uses", "history" and "Notable Individuals". I would also like to add 'Ethical Concerns" as a possible heading. Jdolsson10 (talk) 02:57, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Create a standardized format for Organizations

Current Members

Or should this be something that talks about the leadership: either Board, exec committee, etc?

External Links

For my organization (ANAGPIC), I'm planning to include information about each individual graduate program under the Current Members section. ANAGPIC also provides their bylaws on their website, which is why I included it in the outline, although I'm not sure that everyone will have this resource.

I like this setup a lot - this is very similar to the outline I'd drawn out for the information I'm planning to include. I like the "bylaws" section, and was also looking through my organization's bylaw structure. I'm not sure if I will be adding "current members," since, as Alison mentioned, they are difficult to track down for this institution - at least, I haven't been able to find many member groups or organizations. One other section I'm looking to add - if I can put together a solid list for content - would be for "publications" and "events" (though the latter easily fits under "activities").

Create a standardized format for general conservation topics

I don't think that there's a standardized format, but below is a list of some good examples of articles about the conservation and restoration of types of heritage, most of which have been created by other graduate students. Because the topics range so far, I think it's hard to do:

• Conservation and restoration of silver objects
• Conservation and restoration of outdoor bronze artworks
• Conservation and restoration of metals
• Conservation and restoration of copper-based objects
• Conservation and restoration of ferrous objects
• Conservation and restoration of glass objects
• Conservation and restoration of ivory objects
• Conservation and restoration of ceramic objects
