Museums, Libraries and Archives
Museums, Libraries and Archives play an important role within the community archive network.
The DCMS Report: Libraries, Museums, Galleries and Archives for All identified the following priorities:

• make full use of ICT as a means of making their collections more accessible
• identify, consult and involve socially excluded people about meeting their needs and aspirations
• be a local learning place and champion of the independent learner
• ensure that collections and exhibitions reflect the cultural and social diversity of the communities served
• form partnerships with other organisations
• develop projects which aim to improve the lives of socially excluded people

Community archives can help Museums, Libraries and Archives achieve these priorities.
