Case Studies
MLA South East is building up a resource of case studies highlighting innovative work in museums, archives and libraries in the South East region.
Our aim is both to encourage the sharing of knowledge and good practice within the sector, and to demonstrate to those outside the sector what museums, archives and libraries can contribute to wider initiatives.
Below is a list of all case studies relating to funding & fundraising.
