In the period 2008-2012 the Movable Heritage Knowledge Centre of the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) carried out research following the Movable Heritage Research Agenda. Its nearly 60 studies are now available online and can be consulted in a visually attractive, bilingual publication onwww.kennisvoorcollecties.nl/en/researchagenda/
The publication can be explored in various ways: Showcases offer magazine-like articles that highlight appealing research, for example the problem of water-sensitive oil paints , the colors from Hallstatt textiles or the technical history of works by the ‘old’ masters Van Gogh, Mondrian, Govert Flinck. Under the heading Expertise the agency’s fields of expertise can be consulted by category, such as ‘colour’, ‘plastics’ or ‘making and meaning’. And for those who are interested in the details of a project, there is Programmes that bundles all the projects in 5 separate chapters, likeCollection risk management and Value assessment, that offer comprehensive guidelines for collection management.
