Museum Magazine Now

The British Museum has partnered with archiving
experts Exact Editions to offer cutting-edge
digital subscriptions to their membership magazine to institutions
around the world. The expansive archive, which currently stretches back to 2006
and will be completed in early 2021, allows museum students and professionals
alike to access a treasure trove of in-depth editorial content at the touch of
a button across web, iOS and Android devices.
Founded in
1753, the British
Museum is the oldest and
greatest publicly funded museum in the world, exhibiting two million years of
human history and culture. Published three times a year, the pages of
membership title British Museum Magazine include striking visuals
alongside museum and exhibition insights, research news and historical
features.
Subscribing institutions will benefit from both
seamless IP access on site and intuitive remote access options that facilitate
access from any location. The archive also boasts an advanced search function
that cements its status as a vital research tool.

Membership Manager Claire Byfield commented: “The
collection of archived issues has really been brought to life in this new
digital format; the comprehensive search tool in particular will prove
incredibly useful for those who work in or have a passion for the museum
industry.”
Managing Director of Exact Editions, Daryl Rayner,
remarked: “We’re delighted to be working with the British Museum
on this new venture. Entering the digital institutional market will not only
introduce the magazine as a teaching tool internationally, but also spread the
Museum’s news and research across the globe.”
