This Program commenced in 2003. The Advisor, Vanessa Keenan, coordinates projects across the 3 museums in the Shire (Batlow, Tumut and Adelong Alive). The program has focused on collection management, collaborative projects and strategic planning.

 

The museums have worked in partnership on a heritage trail project that recently received a Community Achievement Award and are developing a small travelling exhibition. The Advisor has been providing guidance for extensions planned to the Batlow museum.

 

 

During the year, The Advisor has supported exhibition development in the area including a Miles Franklin exhibition with Tumut and a Hotels exhibition with Adelong.
