The document outlines a campaign called the Campaign for Good Curatorship, which aims to reverse the decline of curators in British museums. It notes that there has been a 35% loss of natural history curators and 23% loss of art curators over the last 10 years. The campaign advocates for appropriate levels of curatorial staff in museums to ensure collections remain relevant, exhibitions are effective, collections are properly managed, and cultural objects are cared for now and for future generations. It calls on various organizations to support curatorship through research, accreditation standards, and acknowledging curators' role in museums.

Museums Association Seminar Presentation - Practical support for Accreditatio...Collections Trust
Presentation given by Susanna Hillhouse, Museum Consultant, and Laura Whitton, Partnerships Manager at the Collections Trust, at the MA Conference, October 2011.
The Collections Trust seminars are a one-day interactive workshop for people working in collections management.
They will look at the changing needs and expectations of museum audiences and how collections management practice and digital technology can help meet them. The workshop will cover:
• Being an effective advocate for the wider impact of collections management
• Using collections management to help your museum improve its services and its sustainability
• The relationship between Museum Accreditation and SPECTRUM as the standard for collections management
• How to develop a strategic approach to your collections and digital work
• How to ensure that your internal policies, procedures and systems are fit for the future
This document discusses managing risk in museums. It defines risk management as the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks to minimize threats to a museum's collection. An integrated approach is recommended that considers risks to collections, buildings, services, information, and people. The document provides examples of threats and gives guidance on implementing good practices like emergency planning, security, pest management, insurance, and collections documentation to control risks. Maintaining a culture of risk awareness across the organization is emphasized.
This document outlines a commercial partnership project called Europeana Food & Drink that aims to create sustainable business models for digitized cultural heritage content from museums, archives, and libraries. It will focus initially on food and drink-related content. The project will engage commercial partners and cultural institutions to understand demand, develop products using digital content, and identify revenue streams. It will take a phased approach, starting with creating an image library and partnering with a food/drink festival, and expanding to develop additional partnerships and products over time. The goal is to demonstrate value for all stakeholders and support continued development.
The Collections Trust is a UK-based charity that promotes standards and best practices in collections management. This document summarizes a seminar presented by the Collections Trust on copyright issues affecting museums. It discusses how two museums, York Museums Trust and Derby Museum and Art Gallery, have adopted open content licensing strategies to share their digital collections online. Both cases demonstrate positive outcomes from increased access and visibility, though each museum has different policies around what content can be shared openly. The document concludes by advising museums to consider their mission and goals when developing an open content strategy.

The Culture Paradox (or why Shakespeare is Spanish)Collections Trust
The document discusses tensions between cultural institutions and open content advocates regarding how to share digital collections. It notes that cultural institutions aim to curate and control contexts of knowledge to build authority and engagement, while open content advocates want fully open access. Specifically, the document outlines differing views on control, expertise, recouping costs, and quality between these groups. It concludes by acknowledging more cultural organizations are exploring open models of engagement but challenges remain regarding sharing high-value cultural items.
Introducing the Collections Trust's 'Going Digital' programme 2014/15Collections Trust

It also outlines the Collections Trust's work programs and the future roadmap for the SPECTRUM documentation standard.
The Collections Trust seminar introduces attendees to the work of the Collections Trust and excellence in collections management. It covers understanding audiences, managing change in museums, and introduces the Excellence in Collections management model and standards. Attendees are encouraged to participate actively and network. Resources provided include information sheets, slides, and feedback forms.
This document discusses entrepreneurial practices in museums. It notes that museums traditionally rent their physical capital but few rent their know-how. During the pandemic, museums considered new online business models to free themselves from physical dependency. These new models include product development like online shops, service development like memberships, and network development through crowdsourcing. The document examines examples and considerations for these new models, noting they require museums to look outward and embrace digital technologies and networks to innovate for the future.
Update and forward plan for ENUMERATE - Digitisation intelligence for EuropeNicholas Poole
The document summarizes an ENUMERATE workshop discussing the purpose and findings of the ENUMERATE Thematic Network.

Aggregators for Digital Cultural Heritage in EuropeMarco Rendina
Aggregators are the backbone of content supply to Europeana, the pan-European digital cultural heritage initiative, connecting and promoting Europeana to their networks and communities. In this presentation, I illustrate how aggregators for digital cultural heritage work and how they are organised in the Europeana Aggregators Forum.
The Collections Trust is the professional body for collections management with over 23,000 users of its standards in 13 countries. It manages EU-funded digital projects totaling over 2.3 million objects opened for creative reuse. Surveys found 93% of users cite the SPECTRUM standard as a top priority and 95% find CT services useful. The CT aims to promote excellence in collections management through leadership, skills development, and advocacy for subject specialism.
1) Library consortia allow libraries to share resources and reduce costs through cooperation instead of competing. They have formed in countries like the UK, South Africa, and Nigeria.
2) Key elements of successful consortia include having mutual objectives, joint decision making, and continuous improvement. Critical success factors include a shared vision, cost effectiveness, accessible resources, and staff commitment.
3) Advantages include comprehensive collections, avoiding duplication, reduced costs, enhanced services, and staff development opportunities. Challenges include developing teamwork, trust, openness, and adopting a win-win approach.
The document discusses ideas for transforming libraries into hubs that allow users to create and share content. Some key ideas proposed include:
1. Creating facilities like a film studio, creative kitchen, and open mic space to allow users to express themselves through various art forms.
2. Partnering with local companies and cultural organizations to provide expertise, equipment and resources beyond what the library can offer alone.
3. Empowering citizens by giving them access to resources and technologies for creating and sharing ideas, regardless of their financial means. This can promote culture and democracy.
This document summarizes a workshop on collections management skills. The workshop objectives are to introduce the work of Collections Trust, explain their Collections Management Competency Framework, promote continuing professional development in collections management, and develop advocacy skills. The Collections Trust is a professional association that seeks to further the interests of collections management professionals and raise standards. Collections management involves strategies, policies and procedures relating to a collection's development, documentation, access and care. The workshop covers topics like the competency framework, planning continuing professional development, and techniques for advocating for collections management.
The Open Access Repository Capacity Strengthening Programme for Africa (OA-RCSP) aims to facilitate access and use of knowledge by strengthening the capacity of academic and research institutions in Africa to establish open access digital repositories.

Presentation to the Churches Conservation Trust looking at the ways in which community engagement and technology are helping shape a new relationship between museums and their audience.
The document discusses how 3D technologies can be used to enhance understanding and experiences of cultural heritage. It provides examples of 3D scanning and printing being used for conservation, research, accessibility, management and commercial opportunities. While the technologies provide benefits, challenges include integration, platform choices, digital preservation and rights. The focus should be on using 3D to enrich experiences and management of collections, not as an end itself.
Writing effective grant proposals for Collections projectsCollections Trust
The Collections Trust has created over £15m in successful grant proposals since 2008. In this presentation, CEO Nick Poole explores what it takes to write an effective grant proposal, what to avoid and where to look for funding.
Striking the Balance - public access and commercial reuse of digital contentCollections Trust
Presentation to the Association of Cultural Enterprises Picture Library Symposium on the subject of how UK museums are striking the balance between public access to and commercial reuse of digital cultural content.
This document discusses the importance of documentation for museums in the future. It argues that documentation is no longer just about cataloguing physical objects, but facilitating dynamic access to collections-based knowledge through various digital assets and narratives. Effective documentation requires following standards like SPECTRUM and adopting principles like "create once, publish everywhere" to make collection information reusable across different platforms and experiences. Strategic collection management is also needed to ensure documentation supports organizational goals and provides rich experiences for diverse audiences. Going forward, documentation will be key to museums maintaining their position as trusted civic institutions in an increasingly connected world.
Collections Trust is committed to partnering with organizations to advance best practices in collections management. The SPECTRUM Partner Scheme licenses vendors to use SPECTRUM in their products, and only partners can claim SPECTRUM Compliance after testing shows their system supports SPECTRUM's information units and procedures. A survey found 75% of respondents identified SPECTRUM Compliance as their top priority when selecting a new collections management system.
