Sedgwick Museum gains national quality standard
The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences has been officially 'Accredited' by the Museums, Libraries and Archive Council (MLA).
The Museum Accreditation Scheme sets nationally agreed standards for all museums in the UK. The Sedgwick Museum's award proves that it measures up, meeting the guidelines on how it is run, how it looks after its collections and the services it provides to its visitors.
Dr David Norman (Museum Director) commented: "It is reassuring to know that this Museum is exceeding such exacting national standards of stewardship. Let's hope that such recognition will generate opportunities that will allow us to improve the conditions under which my staff have to work and continue to develop as a research and educational resource for everyone in the future."
Mark Wood (Chair of MLA) said: "Being awarded Full Accreditation is an impressive achievement. It recognises the high standard and service that the Sedgwick Museum provides and acknowledges the hard work of the staff. Many congratulations!"
