During the last two years, the Hub Information and Records Management
Project has successfully delivered free consultancies to 15 non-national
museums in London. This year the project is in a transitional phase and
we are pleased to be able to again offer free consultancies to up to
eight non-national museums in the London region.
We can help your museum to:
* identify and retain vital information in case of
organisational change
* organise your records
* comply with information legislation (Freedom of Information
Act, Data Protection Act, etc.)
* sort out your shared drive
* identify records that can be thrown out
* raise awareness among your staff and volunteers for record
keeping
This year we are particularly interested in helping museums undergoing
organisational transitions (eg. changing to or from Trust status), which
need help to identify their requirements and rights relating to
information and records management. If you would like an informal chat
about a consultancy, please get in touch with Samira Teuteberg

Previous recipients of consultancies have said:
"This [records management] had been on my list of objectives but I
didn't even know how to begin. The consultancy has given us focus along
with the specialist knowledge and advice."
"[The consultancy has] greatly increased confidence in managing records
and progressing action plans"
"The work we did with the consultancy on digital image management has
fed into our knowledge and confidence around producing, selecting and
disposing of images appropriately, to serve the museum's needs."
For further information on the format and eligibility criteria for the
free consultancies, and the application form, please see:
