Subject: Using natural history collections in museums- some tools to help
Hello- apologies for cross-posting. Here in the North West we are working on raising the profile of natural history museums and collections, and exploring ways to enable more people to enjoy our collections.
As part of this, we’ve been putting together a ‘toolkit’ of advice and suggestions on how to use these kinds of collections- the latest one is about using natural history collections to teach National Curriculum Geography.
The toolkits can be found at:
We will have a website to promote our fantastic collections soon, and the toolkit and other resources will be available there- in the meantime, please feel free to share the documents around. If you have any
suggestions or feedback, please let me know.
Very best wishes,
Henry
