Documentation Training and Support

The Federation have applied to CyMAL for funding to support museums in Wales in the following way:-

to provide support and training for documentation for accreditation for all registered/accredited museums in Wales.
to train selected staff of registered/accredited museum staff in Wales to train other staff in documentation procedures.
to ensure that all registered/accredited museums in Wales have access to current advice and information provided by the MDA.

This application is part of a three year project and the bid for the first year, of £5,730 has been approved.

As a result, the MDA will provide training courses for documentation and train the trainers. Part of the grant will be used to pay the MDA membership fee for every registered/accredited museum in Wales so that they will have access to all the services MDA offer Members. The MDA will soon be writing to all potential members to explain what they offer. The Federation, CyMAL and the MDA will organise and publicise three training events before next April.

(Those who have already paid their membership fee will have at least part of it refunded by the MDA).
