Royal Collection Studies 5 – 14 September 2010 • Giles Waterfield, Director

he fifteenth session of Royal Collection TStudies took place in London, Windsor and Hampton Court, and introduced a number of interesting changes into a programme that is now well-tested. It is a challenge to devise a programme that will meet the many varied interests of the participants, when the material on offer is so rich and varied. Every effort is made to arrange a series of visits and talks that give an impression of the remarkable variety of the collections and buildings associated with the monarchy, and that also appeal to individual participants with widely divergent experience of British history and culture. Whenever possible, specialists are given the chance to study objects of particular interest to them.

Once again, the membership was extremely diverse, with participants from Belgium, China, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Many of the members were curators or directors, often from collections with imperial or royal connections, and from important museums, and we were pleased to have, for the first time, a delegate from China. It was also reassuring that the United States was well represented. The character of the course was enhanced by the presence of delegates from English Heritage, Historic Royal Palaces, the National Trust for England and Wales, and the In the Print Room at , The Royal Collection Victoria and Albert Museum.
