An online survey form was developed using a form builder website, this was designed by Committee members of the MPG and approved at a Committee meeting. The presence of the form was then made known to the museum community though direct marketing across professional groups and through members of the MPG. An email link was sent to all Specialist Subject Network contacts, Museum, Library and Archive (MLA) regional councils, specialist interest groups, such as the Social History Curator’s Group and the Group for Education in Museums and museum studies courses throughout the country. In September a report on the findings of this survey was produced, this article will summarise the main findings, or view the full report (index.php?option=com_docman task=doc_download gid=12 Itemid=33).
