Yorkshire Museums, Libraries and Archives Council and MLA North West are running a training day on Collecting Policies on Friday 23 September 2005 at Manchester Cathedral Visitor Centre from 10am-3pm. This training day will analyze how collecting policies can be used in a variety of settings, including an archive, museum or library, as both operational tools and strategic drivers for service development.
