In response to COVID-19 we have adapted the National Training Programme to deliver a series of self-guided training resources for partner museums.
This resource is aimed at staff or volunteers new to caring for collections, or those looking for a refresher in the subject area.
The training strands below centre on the most in-demand elements of our training programme, which are object handling, object packing, object labelling and integrated pest management.
1. Follow the resources
This training has been designed to be followed in order before putting it into practice, as good object handling is a cornerstone of good object packing. However, this resource will continue to be available online so you can learn at your own pace.
2. Go at your own pace
You will find a combination of media including images, videos and downloadable documents to use. It is not necessary for you to review all the contents at once, there are natural breaks between them that you may wish to use.
3. Get in touch
In addition to this self-guided online training we provide other services including webinars to give you an opportunity to ask any questions arising from this training. Please contact partnerships@nms.ac.uk for more details.
