Translations:De beschrijving van muziekinstrumenten. De collectie van Stichting Logos als case/5/en

The Foundation’s responsibilities for the collection have for a long time been limited to its passive preservation and active use, partly by organising concerts. As is often the case with arts organisations, the actual management of the collection has always been put on a back burner. But the Foundation recently decided that it had to respond to this valuable heritage’s need for preservation, triggered by the observation that the instruments (mechanical, electrical and digital components) are very vulnerable to damage, and all the knowledge about them is in danger of becoming lost (given the age of their maker). It was time to act! Describing and documenting the instruments is a first step to optimising and safeguarding the collection’s long-term management, and this in turn can create greater visibility and support.
