On Monday I took part in Significance Training 2.0 with The Tamworth Regional Gallery and Roslyn Russell, the co author of Significance 2.0, a historian, editor and museum curator. Museums from all around the New England North West region were involved and it was great to make some connections in the lead up to my museum visits in the next couple of months. The training was fantastic and we learnt about how to develop significance statements for items in museum collections and how to make informed decisions to decommission pieces for the collections. This was great after the visit to the powerhouse and will be asking Glynis how they determine what textile pieces to keep in the Powerhouse collections. One of the most important things that came out of the day was that provenance really does determine the significance of the item and this is something that I am going to help the Glen Innes History House with!
