Survey: Developing Ethnographic Collections in Museums

 This survey is part of a research project carried out under the supervision of the Archaeology Department and the Oriental Museum, Durham University. The survey will be asking questions regarding how you or your museum approach the development of ethnographic collections and the process of acquiring ethnographic material. The responses of the survey will be beneficial for museums planning to further develop their ethnographic collection in the future, as it will provide insights into how different museums approach the practical and ethical issues relating to the process. It will take approximately 10 minutes. 

The results of the survey are not for redistribution purposes and will not be published without consent, but please feel free to contact wzgq56@durham.ac.uk for a copy of the survey outcome. A link to the survey:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/J5P72Y5  Thank you very much for your time.

en/counter/points survey on toolkits - help sought!

 Helen Mears, a researcher at Newcastle University is working on a project which considers the relationship between public space and belonging  The en/counter/points project, funded by HERA, is developing a toolkit to support museum practitioners wishing to explore issues of belonging. Before developing the new resource, they  would like to assess the extent to which museum and heritage practitioners use existing online toolkits and similar resources on any topic and have designed a short survey for this purpose. She asks for your assistance in completing the survey.
