Know you need to better manage your records but don’t know where to start? Not sure if sample policies will really fit your museum? Perhaps you’ve drafted a policy, but have doubt as to whether it’s fit for purpose?

 

Once you have recognised the need for records management, implementation may seem daunting and it can be tricky to make a start.  This half-day workshop gives step-by- step guidance on how to develop a records management policy that fits your museum.  The policy is a vital tool that helps you to define your objectives and gain the organisational support you need.

 

Although this session builds on the popular Nuts and Bolts of Museum Records Management workshop, it is not necessary to have attended it. If you are in the process of drafting a policy, please bring it along for discussion. If you don’t already have one, you will leave the workshop with an outline of your policy.

 

The workshop will be lead by Samira Teuteberg, London Museums Hub Records Management Advisor and Charlotte Brunskill, Archivist and Records Manager at the National Portrait Gallery.
