Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to select finished work for storage, to assess its needs for storage and to protect, store and maintain it. This is a support unit for specialisations. The skills and knowledge are not restricted to a particular specialisation but apply across all specialisations depending on the work context. This unit goes beyond and encompasses unit CUVCRS13B Store finished work. This work would normally be carried out under limited supervision or with guidance available if required.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Assess finished work for storage.
- 1.1 Determine criteria for the selection of finished work to be stored.1.2 Apply criteria to finished work and select work accordingly.1.3 Assess storage needs of selected work based on the condition and type of the work.
2 Store finished work.
- 2.1 Identify and select appropriate protective materials and conditions for storage.2.2 Correctly follow procedures to organise finished work for storage using selected protective materials.2.3 Safely store in allocated or selected storage space.
3 Maintain stored work.
- 3.1 Maintain accurate and complete records of stored finished work.3.2 Monitor and review condition of work in storage in accordance with requirement for different types of work.

Overview of assessment
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 (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties e.g. speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment
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.
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with other specialisation units.
