Summary of Changes from Previous Version

2 Aug 2019: In light of changes to the University’s policy hierarchy, and to ensure the ToRs remain current irrespective of nomenclature, the word ‘Rule’ and references to associated Procedures/Guidelines have been replaced with references to collections management ‘documentation’ at clauses 3(b) and 9(a).


The objectives of this Committee are to advise the Vice-Chancellor on significant matters relating to the development, documentation, care, access, research and interpretation of the University collections; to oversee and monitor collections management documentation; and to consider and assess applications for Collections of Significance.
