MDNW!Collections!Care!and!Management!Programme!2014915:!Evaluation!Report! ! ! ! Introduction The Manchester Partnership delivered the collections care & management programme in 2014-15 with Museum Development North West (MDNW) as part of its Arts Council England (ACE) Museum Development funding programme for 2015-2018. This programme was designed to support museum staff from varying museums in the region to achieve, maintain and improve collections care & management requirements detailed in Section 2 of the ACE-managed Museum Accreditation Standard. It was targeted at museums that showed commitment to tackling their Accreditation areas for improvement and could attend the programme of five workshops focusing on four key areas: 1. Policies, plans and procedures and how to use them 2. Collections management 3. Environmental data analysis and control 4. Collections care Workshops Each session was designed to provide museums with skills and information to help build and sustain good levels of provision across these four areas over a five month period and into the future with the aid of equipment kits. The sessions were also designed to help each participating organisation identify areas for improvement in procedures and care provision for collections as well as future staff training needs. “Homework” was suggested for completion between workshops to support delegates to implement learning.

  • Greater Manchester: Our Year in Culture 2018/2019
    GREATER MANCHESTER: OUR YEAR IN CULTURE 2018/2019 CONTENTS 1) INTRODUCTION 2) CULTURE AND SOCIAL IMPACT FUND 3) GREAT PLACE 4) LOOKING AHEAD INTRODUCTION Culture is essential to our identity in Greater Manchester. We have always understood the value of it here. In an ever-troubled and changing world, culture is a foundation in what it is to be Greater Mancunian, outward facing, welcoming and diverse; to express ourselves and forge our place in the world. Culture and creativity has become more prominent in our work over the last year than ever before. Sometimes, culture can be viewed as a ‘nice-to-have’, a ‘bolt-on’ but we take a different view in Greater Manchester; we see culture and creativity as fundamental to who we are, but also essential to the success of our economy and a key enabler for our residents to fulfil their full potential. The Independent Prosperity Review, the largest economic review we’ve undertaken in ten years, highlighted creativity and digital as key areas for economic growth in Greater Manchester, and we must build on this to see our economy and residents flourish. Whilst we can’t know what employment opportunities might look like in ten, 20 or 50 years, we can ensure that our residents have the creative skills necessary to adapt and develop to the jobs of the future. Equally, beyond Greater Manchester, our international reputation, and subsequent visitor economy, is driven by our position as a leading cultural destination. This report outlines how far we have come in the last year, and the hard work of the brilliant 28 organisations we fund through our Culture and Social Impact Fund.

This is a crisis!!” Charitable Trust museum, South West Still collecting archaeological archives, and charging a deposition fee “Our collecting area was reduced…to just the Borough boundary. We have been hoping to deaccession material from the wider area, but no-one has space to take it.” Local Authority museum, South East Still collecting archaeological archives, and not charging a deposition fee “We are heavily reliant on volunteers who work specifically with the archaeology collection. They have a background in amateur archaeology and are very knowledgeable in relation to our specific material.” Independent museum, South East We have stopped collecting archaeological archives, but intend to do so again “Museum team decreased from 3 to 1 person. Other archaeologist on staff was made redundant. None of the Archaeological work I do would be possible without the support and assistance of [the local] Archaeological Society. If they did not exist or were not willing to help, the archive would be totally moribund.” Local Authority museum, London & East Still collecting archaeological archives, and not charging a deposition fee i Museums Collecting Archaeology (England) REPORT YEAR 1: November

    Museum Development North West Annual Report 2013-2014 ! Museum&Development&North&West&Annual&Report&2013914& Page&2! ! Foreword Katy Archer, Director of the People’s History Museum, Manchester, and Chair of the North West Federation of Museums (NWFED) It’s a pleasure to be asked to write the foreword for Museum Development North West’s annual report for 2013-14, having seen the excellent work the team have done across the region in the past year. MDNW’s aim has been to promote excellence, innovation, partnerships and organisational sustainability and help museums in our region to become resilient in challenging times. From my own experience and having spoken to others, I know that MDNW has covered many of these aspects, developing a programme that reflects the wider sector as well as local need. They have worked with many organisations across all areas of the North West with different sizes, structures, collections and priorities. They have achieved a great deal through the Sustainable Improvement Fund, workforce development events, audience data collection and retail development programmes, to name just some of the areas of their work. They have also acted as a coordinating force working with other organisations including Curious Minds, HLF, and NWFED and drawn on expertise from many organisations to share information on best practice and connect museums and museum professionals in meaningful ways. I’m looking forward to seeing their work continue in the coming year and to being part of their partnership approach to Museum Development.

These occasions are always very interesting, because the chosen speakers impart their knowledge of their own areas and cast light on often-forgotten aspects of their history. Next year we are to be hosted by Leyland Historical Society for what I am sure will be an equally varied and informative 'At Home' programme. (See date on following page. Editor) The day included our brief AGM at which we were able to report an increase in the number of member societies from across the County Palatine and even further afield, which is very encouraging. Our small but purposeful committee has already arranged events for next year, and if you feel you would like to contribute as a committee member to our growing organisation, please contact me.
