APPENDIX B IV. AREA MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY COUNCILS Eight local organisations, known as Area Museum and Art Gallery Councils, covering the whole of England, Scotland and Wales, provide services such as conservation, display, temporary exhibitions, cataloguing etc., on a cooperative basis for those museums and galleries which cannot economically maintain their own; and, on occasion, for areas without museums. They are financed by subscription from local government and other museum authorities in each case and, since 1963-64, have received a Government grant of up to fifty per cent, of their annual expenditure on these services. They charge the participating museums and galleries for their services, but in some cases, notably in the conservation of high quality objects owned by small museums which cannot afford an economic fee, the work is done at the expense of the Area Museum and Art Gallery Council. Conservation is undertaken of objects of art, archaeology and natural history, but not all the Area Councils provide conservation in all three branches; and their priorities are governed by the needs of the museums in their areas. Four Area Councils, the South West, the Midlands, the North West and the South Eastern, provide specifically fine art conservation services for their own areas, and, on occasion, if their capacity allows, for a neighbouring area. In the North of England, Yorkshire and Humberside, Scotland and Wales, other services have taken priority, but Yorkshire and Humberside, by arrangement, calls on the fine art conservation service of the North West based in Manchester, and the needs of the smaller Welsh museums can be satisfied by their long-standing affiliation to the National Museum of Wales. The existing establishments are as follows: South West 2 Restorers TS Midlands i Restorer APIV An independent restorer is also retained on contract North West i Senior Restorer APII/IV i Assistant Restorer APII/IV i Technical Assistant TIV South Eastern 2 Restorers APIV, APIII All the Area Museum Councils complain of the inadequacy of their establishments and of the difficulty of filling the posts. 77
