Join us for the 5th Annual Collections Care Conference to discuss Collections Management System Fundamentals. The day will include a chance to hear panelists and take part in workshops, networking and a Marketplace.
This year we’ll be looking at Collections Management Systems (CMS), a tricky area of museum work which can be a wonder and blessing or the bane of our lives. We’ll cover some fundamentals such as Spectrum compliance, what makes good data, and strategies for choosing the system that fits your organisations’ needs. We are also going to be brave and challenge ourselves to think about what technology can do to help us work in ambitious and innovative ways, including using your CMS to enable digital volunteering, and data in the cloud.
Speakers include:
- Gordon McKenna, Standards Manager, Collections Trust
- Malcolm Howitt, Sales Directer, Axiell
- Amy Adams, Senior Curator, National Museum of the Royal Navy
- Greta Bertram, Curator, Crafts Study Centre, University for the Creative Arts
- Jayne Austin, Museum Development & Partnership Manager, Suffolk County Council
- Su Booth, Norfolk Development Officer, Norfolk County Council
- Denis Filer, Oxford Plant Diversity Group, University of Oxford
