Welcome to ‘UKMHF 2022’ and Chair of Creative Change: Collections

Abstract

• This year’s UKMHF aims to embrace change head-on, to apply lessons from recent experience and to look forward. Whether you are a senior leader or consultant, a conservator, curator or archivist, a historian or researcher, a specialist in engagement or interpretation, a volunteer or operator of working craft – or a mixture of all - we want to hear your experiences and ideas on adapting to change. The conference theme is ‘Sea Change’, with sessions structured to look at best practice and creative responses in different areas. The Forum is being jointly hosted in the museums, ships and historic buildings of the Mary Rose Museum, National Museum of the Royal Navy, and Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust.
