Join West Midlands Museum Development (WMMD), Museum Development East Midlands (MDEM) and The National Archives (TNA) for a workshop exploring how to manage both museum and archive collections.
The course will:
- help museum and archive managers to understand more about effective management of mixed (museum and archive) collections
- demonstrate where managing archives and museums are similar and where there are differences
- highlight how both Accreditation schemes run alongside each other and can dovetail
- demonstrate how a complete mixed collection can be managed using the best of each sector
- highlight the TNA ‘Managing Mixed Collections’ guidance and AIM ‘Successfully Managing Archives in Museums’ guidance
This workshop is aimed at museum professionals managing services with mixed collections, and museum staff and volunteers with collections management responsibilities.
The course will be a mix of presentation, case studies, discussion and breakout rooms including the use of Mentimeter. Please ensure that you can access Mentimeter alongside Zoom on your device, or bring along a second device, so that you can join the discussions on the day. You will also be asked to bring an object or document along with you to help form the basis of discussions in the break-out sessions.
