Heritage assessment
Evaluating means assessing the value of a fund and anticipating the means to be used to ensure its preservation, documentation and valuation.
In assessing a fund, we will therefore be as interested in its content, its physical state, its legal environment, as in the existing or necessary means to ensure its conservation and management.
The shift from film to digital, in the early 2000s, contributed to giving heritage value to silver holdings. The Florence Declaration (29 - 31 October 2009) called for the conservation of silver funds at a time when the temptation was great to get rid of them in favour of their digital reproduction.
