Collection access strategies at the Fashion Museum, Bath - Elly Summers <strong>and</strong> Elaine<br />
Uttley, Fashion Museum Collections Assistants<br />
The Fashion Museum holds a world-class collection of historic <strong>and</strong> contemporary fashionable dress<br />
<strong>and</strong> is designated as a collection of outst<strong>and</strong>ing significance. The collection numbers well in excess of<br />
70,000 objects, <strong>and</strong> the museum is visited by over 100,000 people each year. Most visitors to the<br />
Museum are tourists to Bath <strong>and</strong> it is this fortuitous siting in a World Heritage city, a place that<br />
people seek to visit, that has shaped our current collection access practice. We have decided to<br />
eschew the pursuit of an on-line catalogue of the collection <strong>and</strong> instead, concentrate our resources<br />
