    #collectionsunited

    We write as the united museums, galleries, libraries and archives of the UK.
    From famous international institutions to small, local collections, we are
    proud of our diverse and unique identities, that reflect the different
    communities whose stories we tell.
    But times like this, when digital access to culture is all we have, remind us
    that our separate collections are also one, single, national collection: your
    collection.
    Earlier this year the Arts and Humanities Research Council, part of UK
    Research & Innovation (UKRI), began a five-year programme called 'Towards a
    National Collection', whose goal is to help us, working with UK universities, to
    bring our collections together digitally in new and exciting ways. When the
    national lockdown began that ambition overnight became even more urgent
    and important – unlocking the power of our collections not only as a vital
    resource for research, but to bring beauty, education, inspiration and solace
    into all of our lives.
    Starting today, for the remainder of the lockdown and, we hope, far into the
    future, we are committing to work together online as never before to
    celebrate the connections between us, to bring our treasures together in
    fresh and surprising ways, and to shine a spotlight on some of the little-
    known wonders of our shared national collection.
    Look out for the hashtag #collectionsunited over the coming weeks for a
    regular moment of delight or inspiration – and get involved yourself, by
    exploring our digitised collections and making and sharing your own
    connections and discoveries.
