We are funded by the Museums and Galleries Commission in the UK to give
specialist advice on Documentation issues. You might be interested in
visiting our web site. The useful parts will be information about
SPECTRUM, the UK Museum Documentation Standard, and our Documentation
for Registration virtual information pack - given to museums who are
applying for Registration.

As MGC doesn't yet have email, you can always email me to ask any
questions that occur to you.
