West Midlands Museum Development and East Midlands Museum Development have joined forces to host this event for museums across the Midlands.
Navigating through the disposals process can feel very daunting. This session will take a scenario-based approach to explore a variety of disposals issues and themes including collections management and documentation, legal and ethical considerations.
Small groups will be given the opportunity to discuss a different scenario and will then feedback thoughts and questions to a panel for open discussion. Delegates will be asked to submit a scenario before the session. All scenarios will be anonymised.
Join our panel of experts who will help you to find a successful path; Sarah Brown (Collections Trust), Alistair Brown (Museums Association), Anita Hollinshead (Museum Development East Midlands) and Professor Janet Ulph (Department of Museums Studies, Leicester University).
Who should attend?
Those involved in decision making and/ or management of disposals including staff, volunteers and trustees.
