Working with Collections: A Guide for Researchers

Abstract

This guide is intended to support academic staff who are developing funding bids or project proposals which include elements of activity relating to archives, museums or other heritage collections in the care of the University of Edinburgh. It outlines some of the issues to consider, but we encourage anyone considering such a project to make contact with Centre for Research Collections curatorial staff at an early stage: http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/crc. CRC tries to follow best practice but please be aware that there may be different protocols in place at other collections institutions.
