Valoração de Coleções como compromisso ético ao amplo acesso ao Patrimônio Cultural

Abstract

This article starts from a necessary reflection on the valuation of museological and bibliographic collections, in order to think about inclusion and human rights in the broad sense. We discussed the theories on the valuation of the bibliographic collection, as a historical, cultural and scientific heritage of a library in dialogue with the most contemporary concerns of Museology and Heritage Science. With the information collected through the Master's dissertation of one of the authors, it is possible to obtain a specific panorama on the attribution of value to the library book collection, to verify which factors can be taken into account when analyzing the items that compose the collection, which ones will be made available to everyone, contemplating the notions of accessibility and inclusion. This analysis should consider the importance of the collection for the development of the area of ”‹”‹knowledge to which it belongs, as well as to compose, in a reasoned and justified way, the general patrimony of the institution. It is based on the stage of the collections risk management methodology, proposed by the International Center for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM).
