    Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery Collections Management Plan First edition August 2006 Second edition October 2012 Reviewed and revised June 2016 Collections Management Plan Executive summary Introduction The Collections Management Plan provides a framework for all collections-related aspects of the museum service. The plan aims to consolidate best practice in all aspects of collections management, and to ensure compliance with the national museum Accreditation scheme. Collections Development The Collections Development Policy aims to maintain and document appropriate formal procedures for the entry of objects to and the exit of objects from the collections. It incorporates a review of the existing collections to establish a context within which to chart their future development. It identifies gaps and potential growth areas, and provides criteria for the acceptance or otherwise of objects that may be offered to the Museum as donations, or which may appear as available for purchase. It establishes priorities for future collecting, including that of contemporary material. Documentation The documentation policy statement sets out in-house procedures established by the Museum for processing new acquisitions, cataloguing collections, recording location and movement, information retrieval, and exit and loan records. Collections care and conservation The statement on collections care and conservation aims to establish a balanced and flexible policy which combines high standards of collections care with the provision of a wide range of opportunities for people to engage with the collections. It is based on the standards set out in the checklist Benchmarks in Collection Care. Its coverage includes monitoring and control of environmental conditions, storage, handling, and remedial conservation.

  • Report and Recommendations
    1 Tunbridge Wells Town Plan Advisory Panel Report and Recommendations Presented to TUNBRIDGE WELLS BOROUGH COUNCIL July 2012 2 FOREWORD It is now around eight months since I set up the Tunbridge Wells Town Plan Panel with the purpose of better informing the debate on the future development of the town. Some finger crossing was needed at first since the exercise was new to all those involved, and required some pretty basic blue sky thinking. However, I am delighted that we are now able to publish our views, based on the consensus of the majority of the Panel members. Looking back, I feel privileged to have been part of a group of people who have shown such dedication and have given up so much of their time to the task. There will be those, no doubt, who will question the composition of the Panel and indeed its competence or mandate for doing this work. The choice of members was initially mine, and whilst I made every effort to ensure a balanced selection of skills and demographics, I was always aware that this could never be entirely perfect, and would be inevitably open to challenge. Despite this, however, I remain confident that the result is a valid and useful contribution to the consultation process. In particular, the thinking has been from the bottom up, starting with a clean sheet and few pre-conceived ideas. It is probable that the result may not be seen as dramatic, but I am convinced that it will prove to be of considerable significance in further informing the Borough Council's consultation on the Tunbridge Wells town centre plan.

  • From the Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery Making Subbuteo
    From the Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery Making Subbuteo We collected people's individual memories of being involved in the manufacture of Subbuteo in preparation for our Flick to Kick exhibition, and we would like to continue to collect your stories. Please take the time to send us your comments or personal reminiscences to add to our website, for others to see and for us to keep as a historical record. Your memories My Grandad John Elliot made the angling game you have on your site. We have the first copy ever made at home :) It wasn't the best game in the world but we did play it when I was younger and it was fun back then :)... Oh and I'm pretty sure we didn't have this UFO dice thing... in our one it had specially made green dice. I think the UFO might have been added when it was mass-produced... you probably already know this but thought I would mention (Anon) My friend's mother worked in the factory in the late 1960s. One Christmas, it was a bad year for berries on the holly, so to compensate, she painted some of the footballs red and stuck them on the holly! (Ruth Chambers) Growing up with Subbuteo As a child of Primary School age I remember our home was continually filled with boxes, plastic bags and a familiar smell of paint, glue and cardboard. This was because my mum was employed by Subbuteo as one of a large team of people who did what was called outwork for the company, which was to complete items to be packed into the famous Subbuteo games of football and cricket.

  • The Writing on the Wall Walk a Self Guided Tour & Activity Book for Children Based on the Burgundy Plaques/Buildings of Notable Residents of Bygone Tunbridge Wells
    The Writing on the Wall Walk A self guided tour & activity book for children based on the burgundy plaques/buildings of notable residents of bygone Tunbridge Wells Beau Nash - Picture to colour Tunbridge Wells has always attracted famous and interesting people, who have either lived here or visited. This activity book has been based on a pamphlet called “The Writing on the Wall”, which tells the story of the people connected with the commemorative Plaques that we see around the town. By taking the self guided walk with an adult to visit some of the plaques, and by completing this activity booklet, you will hopefully learn interesting facts about a few of the many fascinating people who have contributed to the success of the town over the years.
