Acquired by The Hunterian with a grant from the National Fund for Acquisitions. National Fund for Acquisitions The National Fund for Acquisitions (NFA), provided by Scottish Government to the Trustees of National Museums Scotland, contributes towards the acquisition of objects for the collections of Scottish museums, galleries, libraries, archives and other similar institutions open to the public. The Fund can help with acquisitions in most collecting areas including objects relating to the arts, literature, history, natural sciences, technology, industry and medicine. Decisions on grant applications are made in consultation with curatorial staff at National Museums Scotland and the Directors and staff of the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland who provide expert advice to the Fund. While recognising that the financial climate is extremely difficult, National Museums Scotland was particularly dismayed to learn of a 25% cut to the NFA’s already limited funding, reducing the grant to only £150,000 in financial year 2011/12. NFA funding had remained at £200,000 per annum since 1996, a figure which in real terms has declined very considerably in value during the subsequent fifteen years. Clearly the extent of the cut means that the NFA cannot support collecting in Scotland as effectively as we would wish.

Are you looking to re-invigorate your learning programmes or develop your learning practice? Do you want to know more about the Curriculum for Excellence? Perhaps you’re just interested in exploring new ways of working. Bright Sparks will be filled with inspiration from industry leaders on topics such as policy, practical methods for dialogue with schools, STEM, how to build a learning programme, innovative models for learning, and work-based learning. With speakers from the public and private sector including organisations such as Education Scotland, Immersive Minds, Glasgow Life, Developing Youth Workforce (DYW), Young Enterprise Scotland and the Group for Education in Museums (GEM), the symposium will bring together experts from within and outwith the museums sector to share their experiences and their thoughts on the future of formal learning. Who Is It For? The event will cater for both practitioner and strategic level, with engaging keynotes for all, and sessions split into three themes to allow attendees to choose the topics most relevant to their needs. Policy Add-On (PA) sessions cover strategic topics around policy areas guiding the learning and development of children and young people and how museums can contribute. It gives context to Scottish education system and raises awareness of how learning practitioners can use the policies and frameworks to guide their programmes and activities for formal learning.
