If you are an employee, volunteer, or student in the UK’s Galleries Libraries Archives and Museums and wider heritage (GLAM) sectors, we invite you to complete this survey. Your feedback is important for shaping the future of UK collections infrastructure and building a case for its future funding.

Towards a National Collection has commissioned independent researchers, Diffley Partnership, to conduct an evaluation of the Towards a National Collection (TaNC) programme. This programme takes place from 2020 to 2025 and includes sixteen research projects. More information on this programme can be found here.

This survey asks about your familiarity with and thoughts on the Towards a National Collection programme. It also gives you the opportunity to share your views on the needs and future direction of the GLAM sector. Survey results will be important for influencing future support from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and other funders in the GLAM sector.

We would be grateful if you could complete this short survey even if you are not familiar with Towards a National Collection (TaNC).

The survey will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. Your response is entirely confidential and will not be seen outside of the Diffley Partnership research team. After the survey closes, Diffley Partnership will analyse findings and report overall trends back to the Towards a National Collection Programme team. Our reporting will not identify any respondents. For our full privacy notice please visit this webpage.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Diffley Partnership at surveys@diffleypartnership.co.uk.

Thank you in advance for your time and input.
