About the Author

Angela Kipp is currently professional services specialist at Gallery Systems helping clients transitioning their workflows into TMS Collections and an independent museum consultant. She graduated as Diplom-Museologin (FH) in Museum Studies from the Fachhochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (University of Applied Sciences) in Berlin. Starting off as travelling database troubleshooter and project assistant for various exhibitions, Kipp has worked in the museum field since 1998 for museums of all sizes. Since then she has seen, worked for, and advised about many unmanaged or only partly managed collections. From 2004 until 2019 she was collections manager of the TECHNOSEUM, one of the three largest science and technology museums in Germany. Her job there encompassed optimizing storage and logistics and moving one third of the collection to two remaining warehouses when one had to be closed in 2006 and incorporating various large, previously unmanaged collections, each with more than 1,000 objects, into the existing collection.
