Abstract

It is worth reminding ourselves that the notion of museums and adult education bodies co-operating together is not unfamiliar. Indeed, the two major Adult Education Reports this century, the Adult Education Committee Final Report (1919) and Adult Education: a plan for development (1973), both considered the roles of museums and adult education providers. In the museums sector, the Report by Sir Henry Miers of 1928 and Sir Frank Markham's Report of 1938 also linked the two roles together, although in the case of the former Report the lack of co-operation between the two sectors was noted.
