UK COLLECTIONS represent the breadth and diversity of human history. They are the key to our shared sense of identity, and have the power to inform, educate and inspire audiences across generations and cultures. The aim of the Collections for All campaign is to ensure that the potential of these essential resources is recognised, and to secure their long-term future. Collections for All has put together a number of case studies which demonstrate the social, economic, professional and intellectual impact of the effective management of collections.

I spent part of my career as a collections manager. It is inconceivable that museums could create intelligent displays on anything at all without knowing their subject matter - and making sure that knowledge isn't lost. To make use of your collections - which is what museums are for - you have to know about them and you have to look after them or else the whole thing falls apart. David Fleming, Director  |
