In response to Peter Elliott's interesting comment, I also work in more
than one 'domain', being involved in archival training and also in
significant work with a museum body. These two areas come together in a
recently established MA course in Heritage Skills at UW Aberystwyth.
Proper understanding of archival issues as well as study of archival source
material (and local history) is an integral part of this course. I should
add that the course is not designed to provide approved professional
training for a particular aspect of heritage management, eg museum
collections, but rather to raise the level of graduate skills to a higher
level of understanding re heritage issues, and to give depth and breadth to
present and future studies within this broad field.
