RE-ORG – collection storage reorganization

The RE-ORG method is a step-by-step approach for small to medium-sized heritage institutions. It aims to help them reorganize their collection storage rooms and regain access to their collections for enhanced community involvement.

RE-ORG was developed by ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property) with the support of UNESCO. ICCROM adapted RE-ORG for distance learning in collaboration with CCI and other international partners.
