Facing the Future: A Museum Strategy for the East Midlands 1996 - 2001 (1996) Priced £3

This booklet contains the regional museum strategy for the East Midlands that was unanimously adopted by the Service's Council on 22 April 1996. Although it helps the Service to create a framework for its own forward plans, it is hoped that this document has a wider ownership, both within and without the museum community.

Museum Storage in the East Midlands (1998)
ISBN 0 95 18468 3 3 Priced: £5

Most museum collections are in store. Their significance is no less than those objects that are on display. Collections must be in a good condition and fully accessible to realise their full potential. With this in mind we commissioned Libby Finney to survey the storage areas of museums within the region. This report is the summary of the general findings; there are no 'league tables' as the survey was confidential.
