📚 B O O K C L U B 📚 Looking after collectio

📚 B O O K C L U B 📚

Looking after collections for future generations is a fundamental responsibility of a museum.

In our free and informal weekly ‘book club’, CMP’s Museum Development Officer will guide you through collections care topics using freely available online resources.

We will cover the basics of:

📚 Handling and packing
📚 Storage
📚 Environmental monitoring and pests
📚 Dusting and cleaning
📚 Marking and labelling
📚 Buildings and security

The club will take place weekly for seven weeks via Zoom. Reading material will be shared and discussed the week after. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, meet new people and share learning with your peers.

This series is an ideal introduction to collection care for:

📖 New or existing volunteers and staff without previous experience of collections care
📖 Existing staff or volunteers who want a refresh and a chance to talk about best practice

No prior experience or knowledge is necessary, but we do ask for your commitment to the whole series. You must also work for or volunteer in a museum in Cornwall.

The core values of sustainability and inclusivity

The core values of sustainability and inclusivity have been embedded into the 2022 Cornwall Heritage Awards; and not just in the award categories themselves.

These values have been at the centre of every step of the planning process, and in our latest blog post, we will explore and explain the decisions we have made.

Cornwall Museums Partnership (CMP) is both delight

Cornwall Museums Partnership (CMP) is both delighted and saddened to announce the news that our CEO Emmie Kell, will be moving on to pastures new and taking up the fantastic role as Director of Museums and Cultural Property at Arts Council England (ACE) in March 2022.

Although the CMP team and board are incredibly sad to see Emmie go, we know that her abundance of knowledge and expertise will make a vast difference in the work she goes on to do with ACE.

Emmie said, “It has been a privilege to work with the museum community in Cornwall and Scilly over the last 6 years. I shall miss CMP colleagues greatly; they are a fantastic team and I wish them all the very best. I have no doubt that there is an exciting future for the charity and for museums in Cornwall.”

Our latest newsletter with the full announcement has just been released so please check your inboxes now.

We know our museums, partners, stakeholders, and those who Emmie has worked with over the years will wish her nothing but the best for her next chapter with Arts Council England.
