Elements and Performance Criteria

Assess finished work for storage.
Store finished work.
Maintain stored work.
- Maintain accurate and complete records of stored finished work.
- Monitor and review condition of work in storage in accordance with requirement for different types of work.

Required Skills

Required skills

literacy skills sufficient to interpret information related to protection storage and maintenance of finished work

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate material requirements for protection storage and maintenance needs for finished work

Required knowledge

knowledge about archival principles and values

physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials suitable for protection and storage of work relevant to type of work

record keeping systems appropriate for storage and retrieval

safe storage requirements for the finished work relevant to type of work

awareness of copyright moral rights and intellectual property issues for the storage and maintenance of stored work

environmental issues associated with equipment tools and materials required for the protection and storage of the finished work relevant to type of work

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to storage and maintenance of finished work

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit

application of techniques and processes to prepare store label register and maintain finished work

sound knowledge of archival principles and values

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for

practical demonstration of skills using required equipment and materials for the selection protection storage and maintenance of finished work

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include

direct observation of the preparation of finished work for storage

evaluation of items prepared for storage by the candidate

review of records created or maintained by the candidate

discussion and questioning about the care and protection of finished work and the record keeping system in use

written or verbal reports

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands eg literacy and the needs of particular groups eg people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties eg speakers of languages other than English remote communities and those with interrupted schooling

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to undertake the preparation of finished work for storage and to protect it store and maintain it safely

Range Statement


The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Criteria for finished work may include:	archival values available space exemplar potential of the work number, quantity, size personal affinity to the pieces of work quality of work uses of work usefulness in the future.

Storage needs based on the condition of the work may include:	consideration of archival values deciding on the best form of storage for that work in its condition simple repairs prior to storage, e.g. to mounted materials stabilising any damage to prevent deterioration in storage.

Appropriate protective materials may include those that respond to:	archival materials CD cases characteristics of the materials used in the work (acid free wrapping/mount board, water absorbent, reflective) enclosures folders form of the artwork (upright, flat) fragility (padding, tissue, bubble wrap, box framing) negative sleeves.

Correctly following procedures may include:	protocols for the recording and registration of stored work, including ethical considerations verbal instructions workplace procedures which may relate to such things as safety, process-specific procedures, use of materials, recycling, cost control, reporting.

Storage space may be selected by the candidate, or may be allocated in a training or work environment. Storage space should enable the safe storage of finished work. This may include consideration of:	archival values dampness, humidity dust electromagnetic fields insects fungi light sensitive characteristics of the image light, fading.

Records may include:	electronic records, e.g. including image archiving software labelling of work (number, title, medium, year produced) list of stored finished work model release permits, contracts containing conditional usage requirements register of all stored and finished work, e.g. date and usage of photographic material slide library.
