The Guidelines are intended for all museums, organisations and individuals that have larger and or working objects in their collections, including those that do not specialise in transport or engineering, such as social history museums. Publication of the Guidelines will be followed by two FREE regional seminars, to promote their dissemination throughout the sector and highlight good practice through four case studies at each event. The seminars are to take place on: Thursday 22 February at Aerospace Bristol, Filton, South Gloucestershire Tuesday 20 March at Kelham Island Museum, Sheffield, South Yorkshire (in partnership with the Yorks. & Humbs. Federation of Museums & Art Galleries) We hope that you may be able to attend one of these events yourself and also share with colleagues and others. Bookings can be made via Eventbrite using the following links: Seminar, 15 February, Filton: - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/abtem-seminar-guidelines-for-the-care-of-larger-working-historic-objects-tickets-42240795356 Seminar, 20 March, Sheffield - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/abtem-seminar-guidelines-for-the-care-of-larger-working-historic-objects-tickets-42238404204 The Guidelines will be available, after the launch event, to purchase as a hard copy via the Collections Trust or as a free download from the ABTEM website.
