We are an Audiovisual Archive which has Museum functions.

Our two main branches in terms of what you are asking (but don't let staff
from other branches here me say that!) are:

Collections (acquisition, accessioning/data entry, storage and movement); and

Access (client and visitor services - ie individual access plus
exhibitions, screenings and presentations, 'other' education and research,
product development and marketing.

We also have a Preservation Branch, an IT Branch, and Resources Management
Branch. We have about 140 permanent staff.


Cheers, Sue
