Description
The priority of this document is to guide the long-range curatorial development of the collection, rather than to articulate programmatic priorities, which are outlined in the Strategic Planning document and Ministry Business Plan. Programming priorities will shift and evolve over time, while the Collection Development Plan seeks to address current gaps in the collection, and encourages a commitment to long-term collecting sustainability. This document crystallizes the collecting priorities, with the support of the Board of the AFA, and provides a framework for specific tactical plans to address gaps in the collection. Annual strategies on how to best achieve these goals will be articulated in annual planning documents based on available funds, market trends, and other resources.
