Our collections departments can provide expert advice on collections, their identification, care and management to representatives from organisations holding a public collection in Scotland.
Requests can be made by email to the relevant member of staff in our Collections Directorate. Our directory is organised to help you find the support and advice you are looking for. Our Guide to Collections Advice tells you what advice we can offer you and how.
If you need help to identify the member of staff who is most relevant to your enquiry or have any questions about this guidance, please contact partnerships@nms.ac.uk.
