National Maritime Museum Development Project

Dear Colleague
The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London (UK) is undertaking an
important project to enhance access to its archival collections. It
contains over 2 million items, including manuscript letters and journals,
prints, drawings, maps, charts and ephemera, that record the history of
Britain's imperial maritime endeavour over the last 500 years. They offer
unique and valuable insights into a range of subject areas, from imperial
studies to art history and the history of science and technology.

As an academic researcher with an active interest in relevant subjects,
the Museum would like to hear your thoughts on how we can develop access to
our archival collections to meet your needs. We are very interested in
hearing from both people who have used our facilities before, and those
who have not.

Please follow the link below to find out more about the proposed
developments.

Once you have read about the proposed developments, please follow the link
below to our e-survey which will give you a chance to express your views.
The e-survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete and your views
will ensure we develop our archive facilities in the best way possible.
