MLA’s Designation Scheme celebrates the leading museum, library and archive collections in England: those that are deemed to be of outstanding national and international importance.
The Scheme recognises that organisations with Designated collections care for a significant part of England’s cultural heritage. It seeks to identify where those collections are held, in order to enhance our knowledge and understanding of England’s cultural assets.
The proven benefits of identifying a designated collection include:
strengthened governance
creation of a focus for awareness and profile building
