This might be of interest to some... Rebekah _____ From: Scottish Evaluation Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: 23 September 2008 09:19 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Community Impact research report Apologies for cross-posting Dear Scottish Evaluation Network colleagues, Here is some information on a piece of research which we've recently published regarding the impacts of museums on their local communities. In 2007, Museums Galleries Scotland commissioned a piece of social research to look at the impacts made by museums and galleries on their local communities. The research was carried out by the Moffat Centre for Travel and Tourism Business Development. The report contains the results of an extensive literature review and fieldwork. The case studies presented in the report represent a variety of key community impact themes: - re-development: extending life cycle - employment and work experience - community volunteering - community regeneration - community engagement. This research is a first step in exploring the impacts that museums have on communities and recommends areas for further research. To view the report, please click on the following link: http://www.museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk/news/2008/CommunityImpact.asp We are currently working on our response to the report. Please feel free to circulate this information to anybody else who you think may be interested. If you have any further questions, please contact us.
