SHARE networks

SHARE logoSHARE is creating regional specialist networks to help staff keep in touch with each other, with current developments in their chosen disciplines and to offer targeted support to the rest of the museum community.

Currently networks have been established in:

  • Museums archaeology
  • Natural history
  • Costume and textiles
  • Audience development
  • Design and display
  • Museum learning

The remit of each network has been developed by its members, which include both hub and non-hub staff. SHARE provides administrative support and some funding. It’s still early days for most of the networks, but examples of the kinds of activity they will be focusing on include events, publications, websites and, from 2010, small grants schemes.

Responsibilities transfer

From 1st October 2011, this site will not be updated, so please treat it as the static archive it is. This is because <a target="_Blank" href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/">Arts Council England</a> has now taken over museums and libraries responsibilities. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">The National Archives</a> has assumed responsibility for strategic leadership of the Archives sector. Arts Council responsibilities will also now include the Renaissance programme, Museum Accreditation, and Library Development, together with cultural property services such as Export Licensing and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. The National Archives has assumed responsibility for providing strategic leadership to the archives sector and advising government on its development. The MLA is now winding down, with a skeleton staff remaining until May 2012 to complete the management of existing Renaissance contracts, complete outstanding financial and contractual arrangements and prepare for the appointment of a liquidator. This website will remain live until 31st March so that the public still has full access to the material on it – good practice case studies, toolkits, guidance and a range of other publications.  Continue reading
