Il progetto Fondo giovani del MIUR su trasporto e logistica avanzata del patrimonio scientifico e naturalistico. Il sondaggio sullo stato dell'arte dei musei scientifici e storico naturalistici italiani

In the ambit of the Doctorate in Science and Technology for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage of the University of Ferrara a research project within the “Advanced Transportation and Logistics, info-mobility of people and goods” was funded by the MIUR - Ministero dell'Istruzione dell'Università e della Ricerca (DM. 23/10/2003 n ° 198 - Fondo Giovani 2009-2010). The PhD project is dedicated to the “Management of Scientific and Natural History Museums collections through the application of infomobility technologies”, which aims at formulating and validating management protocols through the application of automatic identification devices, already used extensively in other fields. In order to support this project, a survey concerning the state of the art of warehouse management and museum collections, through compiling in a questionnaire, has been carried out between 2013 and 2014, with the purpose to identify any proposals for solving the critical situations at national level. In this work we will present the data of the sections concerning the status and methods of inventory and cataloguing, the monitoring of the collections conditions and the handling procedures adopted.
