I do stress to you all to go to the Museum Associations Website  www.museumsassociation.org to look at their discussion papers on the future of collections.

Two working groups were set up to look at Collecting and the Use of Collections.  These plus a document which asks some very provocative and timely questions can be found in the section on the Home page titled Policy and Ethics then click on Collections for the Future. The three papers are in files at the bottom of the page.

Please send comments, solutions etc to Helen Wilkinson  by Ist October. Helen's e.mail is [log in to unmask]

Thanks
