Value your volunteers

The second British Museum / Marsh Trust Volunteers for Museum Learning Award is now open for applications. The award is open to all volunteers or groups of volunteers working directly with the public in museums and galleries. The award is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the work and achievements of volunteers - and the prizes are pretty good too!

Packed with great ideas

The North East Regional Museums Hub has just published Exploring Literacy though Museums, an account of a partnership that brought museums and schools together to develop cross-curricular schemes of work that use museum visits as inspiration for writing.

Accreditation must be less bureaucratic

MLA's response to the two studies it commissioned to help inform its review of museum Accreditation is now available on-line. The recommendations from the studies, based on the views of more than 1000 museum colleagues regarding the value, shortcomings and future of Accreditation will directly inform the scheme's development.
