Nicole Schmidt, Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin, Germany Cristina Mulinas Pastor, IVAM, Institut Valencià d'Art Modern, Valencia, Spain One of the key responsibilities of museum registrars is to ensure that the information pertaining to exhibition and storage spaces aligns with the standards set forth by ICOM and the Ministries of Culture (or equivalent institutions in each country) for the preservation of works of art and other assets of cultural significance, particularly with respect to loans for temporary exhibitions. These data are reflected in the Facilities Report document. Many countries now have a template adapted to their own language, but the most widely used models within the profession are those from the United Kingdom (UKRG) and the United States (AAM). These models are the primary means by which we complete our data, and, when necessary, we require the museums to which we lend our works to complete them as well. The ERG has been considering the possibility of developing a unified form for use across Europe. This would be a more straightforward and condensed version with binary responses, which would streamline the completion of lengthy and complex forms with extensive information, often including obsolete questions or data that small museums may not have the resources or expertise to address. The rationale for this proposal is to create a simpler form that covers the more relevant questions and is easy to use for the entire museum community. The objective of the workshop is to discuss this model with the attendees and debate the convenience of its implementation.
