Home Training Consultancy Advice Service About Us

Our unique subscription advice service

A subscription paid by your regional support agency, museum federation, or local museum service can provide you with free year-round collections management advice by email and phone.

We currently offer advice in:

  • Copyright and rights management
  • Licensing
  • Documentation
  • Labelling and marking
  • Accreditation
  • PAS197 – Code of practice for cultural collections management
  • Audience development
  • HLF and fundraising
  • Emergency planning
  • Collections development

How it works

Our clients include regional support agencies like Renaissance hubs, museums federations and large museum services. Clients ‘buy in’ to the advice service for the museums and heritage organisations that they support. For those museums the one-to-one advice is free.

If you are eligible for advice, email us info@cmnetwork.org.uk, including the name and address of your organisation.
