Rural Museums Network Online Conference
Cultivating Change in Rural Collections
Since 2020 is all about change, the Rural Museums Network (RMN) is taking the bull by the horns this October, delivering an online Conference for people who work with rural life collections that delves into some of our greatest concerns and looks for practical solutions and support.
Join us for tea break sessions between 8–23 October to hear speakers examine how rural collections and rural sites can respond to global environmental issues, Covid-19 and Black Lives Matter, as well as how the RMN supports people to get the best out of their collections.
These sessions will be run on the Zoom platform and are free to members and non-members.
8 October 2:45–4pm (GMT +01:00) – RMN AGM (2:45–3pm) followed by Rural Places and the Great Beyond: Techniques for Linking Local Environments with Global Histories. Keynote address by Debra Reid
9 October 3–4pm – How to Reap the Rewards with the RMN
16 October 4–5pm – Coronavirus in the Countryside: Rural Museums’ Responses to Covid-19 and Lockdown
