Doing Exercise: Professional Practice

Refer back to the Empowering Collections report, in particular the summary of recommendations on page 26. 

Select one of the recommendations for museums and develop a plan for how you will contribute to it. This could be by connecting with a relevant subject specialist network or pushing for a project that tackles one of the issues discussed in the report. 

If you can, build this into future work plans or CPD. 


By completing this online learning and undertaking the exercises you should have discovered areas of modern collections practice that interest you more than others. You should have the level of knowledge required to embed some of the learning into the work that you do now or in the future.

Next we will look at how you can build this knowledge into your career development.
