We are happy to announce that the next instalment of our popular Diploma in Law and Collections Management (DipLCM) course will take place in Edinburgh from 31st March to 4th April 2025, kindly hosted by National Galleries Scotland. The course is open to all those who work in collections management (or related fields) at museums, galleries, libraries or archives. This course will cover areas as varied as ownership, due diligence and acquisition, gifts, rules on disposals/deaccessioning, loans, contracts, restitution and copyright. No prior legal knowledge is necessary.

While an important element of the course will deal with Scottish rules and practice, the course is open to practitioners from around the UK and indeed the world. Much of the teaching focuses on best practice and provides international comparisons. For more information or to book a spot, see here.
