<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>In reading this very attractive
document, I was struck by the ABSENCE of an argument for collections.
Rather, the document advocates for museums and their role in raising public
awareness. No question that they are important for public awareness of
Nature, extinction, environmental change, but I found no connection to
collections. In fact, other than mentioning the total number of specimens
in the region’s museums and two page that describe what the collections contain
and what goes on ‘behind the exhibits’ there’s no focus on the use of
collections or their relevance to the public education mission.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>This is not to say that we shouldn’t be
advocating for museums as centers of education, advocacy and
infotainment. That being said, based on the text alone (setting aside
what we all know and believe), a general reader might ask why good museum space
is being used for collections rather than public exhibits, since the
collections don’t seem important for exhibits and education. I can
imagine that this is a question that many smaller regional and local museums
must answer. It would be very interesting to hear ideas from people in
smaller museums on how they make this connection to the collections for the
public and funders.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>The arguments are tailored towards those
working with policy and strategy (NGOs, societies, schools, PHE, HE and FE etc
etc) rather than primarily for public consumption, hence the emphasis on ‘need’
messages rather than ‘love’/’feel’ messages. Although some of the content is
specific to the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">North West</st1:place></st1:State>,
much of it is not; the PDF includes additional statistics not included in the
hard copy.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
