The Museums and Galleries History Group is pleased to announce
the first issue of its biannual newsletter is now online at the
MGHG website, www.mghg.org, containing news of projects,
publications, research and events in the field of museum and
gallery history.
The MGHG provides a platform for debate and contact among all
those who seek to understand museums and galleries from
historical and theoretical perspectives. The interests represented
are wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and international and the group
also acts as a forum for considerations of the place of museum
history within academic discourse and its importance for current
museum practice.
In addition to its newsletter, the MGHG organises regular symposia
(the next, on the subject 'Past and Present: negotiating museum
and gallery history', will be held at Newcastle on 7th-8th September
2006). It is also putting together a searchable research register of
members' interests. Access to the first issue of the newsletter is
free to everyone, but future issues will be available only to
members.
Information about how to join (cost only £10, with a discounted rate
of £5 for registered students) can be found on our website, together
with further information about the group and the coming symposium.
