Versameling

Versameling is 'n stokperdjie wat die soek, opspoor, verkryging, organisering, katalogisering, uitstalling, berging en instandhouding van items behels wat vir 'n individuele versamelaar van belang is. Versamelings verskil in 'n wye verskeidenheid opsigte, veral in die aard en omvang van die voorwerpe wat vervat is, maar ook in doel, aanbieding en ander aspekte. Die reeks moontlike onderwerpe vir 'n versameling is feitlik onbeperk, en versamelaars het 'n groot aantal van hierdie moontlikhede in die praktyk besef, hoewel sommige meer gewild as ander is.

In versamelings van vervaardigde items kan die voorwerpe oudhede of bloot versamelbaar wees. Oudhede is versamelbare items wat minstens 100 jaar oud is, terwyl ander versamelstukke arbitrêr onlangs is. Die woord vintage beskryf relatief ou versamelstukke wat nog nie oudhede is nie.
