Welcome to the Case Studies Database

This database contains a list of case studies related to the museums, libraries and archives sector.

Recent availability of Research Reports and Case Studies

Due to recent changes to the main MLA website, you may find certain documents unavailable. We are working to rectify this problem as quickly as possible.

What do we mean by Case Studies?

Case Studies are a know-how tool. As such they will describe the sector’s experience in and evidence of effectively delivering services and outcomes.

Specifically, they will tell us the Story of projects or initiatives undertaken by the MLA Partnership or museums, libraries and archives organisations in terms of:

• why the project was needed;
• what resources were used;
• what processes were implemented;
• and a description of the outputs, outcomes and impact of the project.

These stories will be primarily about how the sector delivers learning, community and economic outcomes.
