Standards Scheme


The New Zealand Museums Standards Scheme has a new look! The modules have stayed the same, but we have updated the resources list and information relating to administrative details. And in case you’re wondering why the man on the front cover looks familiar, that’s Mike Gribble from the Morrin Museum!

Contact us to receive your complimentary folder, or download the manual in either PDF or Microsoft Word formats. If you want to complete the modules electronically at a later date, download them in MS Word format.
