Dear list member
East of England archives, libraries and museums
cross-domain working - consultants appointed
After a successful bid for funding to Resource (the Council for Museums,
Archives and Libraries), ELISA, ERSEMS and EERAC have appointed a team of
consultants to produce a strategic cross-domain framework for libraries,
museums and archives in the East of England.
The team of consultants appointed comprises Hilary McGowan, Janet Foster and
Margaret Crockett. All three have experience of cross-sectoral and
cross-domain work-
* Hilary McGowan's more recent clients include the Royal Shakespeare
Company, the East Riding of Yorkshire, St Albans Museum and North
Lincolnshire council.
* Janet Foster has worked recently for Kings College London, the Royal
Pharmaceutical Society, and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
* Margaret Crockett has also worked with the Heritage Lottery Fund,
with the VSO and the South East of England Development Agency.
Both Janet Foster and Margaret Crockett are involved in the
development of the South East Archives Strategy.
The team will be working closely with a project management group with
representatives of ELISA, EERAC, and ERSEMS to
* identify and establish individual and collective priorities for the
three domains;
* conduct a preliminary mapping to identify which organisations exist,
and how they are placed to meet the strategic challenges;
* highlight potential projects for joint working;
* establish a framework for cross domain working; and
* produce a document incorporating strategy statements for museums,
libraries and archives, with an embracing statement for all agencies to
endorse.
