Museum Development South West

About the day
Spectrum 5, the collections management standard, was launched in September 2017 following extensive consultation with the museum sector. In this session Sarah Brown, Outreach Officer for Collections Trust, will introduce key changes to both content and presentation.  We will explore museum documentation with a focus on accountability and museum Accreditation; reviewing the new Spectrum 5 primary procedures and discussing how they are approached by your organisation.   
Delegates will be encouraged to participate through discussions and activities, and there will be plenty of opportunity for questions throughout. 
We request that attendees bring examples of their organisation’s documentation procedures and plan, to share and discuss during the day.
