CHICAGO – The Foundation for Appraisal Education’s newly released 2010 edition of Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies contains 18 in-depth original research articles, reviews and topical discussions relating to personal property appraisal. While the journal is targeted primarily at professional property appraisers, it also contains useful insights and information for anyone associated with the business of personal property such as auction houses, estate lawyers, insurance brokerage houses, museums and cultural property conservators.
The Foundation for Appraisal Education was formed in 2002 as an independent arm of the International Society of Appraisers, and raises funds to provide scholarships for continuing studies for both new and veteran appraisers by publishing the annual journal.
The 2010 edition continues the targeted approach with entries regarding research reports, authentication, appraisal theory, appraisal methodology, marketing and opinion pieces and interviews.
One interesting article by Jane C. Brennom, ISA CAPP titled “Appraisers vs. Authenticators” delves into the role of the professional appraiser as an authenticator as well as an appraiser. This article is available on the journal Web site at http://www.foundationforappraisaleducation.org/journal.html.
