Mapping the Territory: The links between museums, archives and libraries, and adult basic skills
The Mapping the Territory project, funded by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) and conducted by the National Literacy Trust, provided baseline data on the ability of museums, archives and libraries in England to contribute to the Government's targets for improving the literacy and numeracy skills of adults with basic skills needs.
The research covered the full spread of activity from making museums, libraries and archives more welcoming for this audience, through to the delivery of basic skills courses, including family literacy. The information is reinforced by case studies to help others build on promising practice and extend the contribution made by these areas.
