Join Sharon Chrust, AAA and Susan Hunter, AAA as they discuss how to manage the appraisal of a large collection (100-1,000 works). Susan Hunter, AAA will first discuss the general estate appraisal; tackling the on-site process, determining how to group items, and how to structure your research according to type of item and value.

Sharon Chrust, AAA will then discuss appraising a large fine art collection, including how to approach collections with a collection management system and how to best work with galleries to research valuations.

• The reporting requirements for a large collection
• Information that an appraiser should organize before starting the project
• Grouping items together
• What you must see in person vs. what you can use digital images for
