The Museum has just been officially awarded Provisional Accredited Status by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). The MLA’s Museum Accreditation Scheme sets nationally agreed standards for all museums in the UK.

The Museum of Computing’s award proves that it measures up, meeting the guidelines on how it is run, how it looks after its collections and the services it provides its visitors. Andrew Motion, Chair of MLA, said: “Being awarded Accreditation is an impressive achievement. It recognises the high standard and service that the Museum of Computing provides and acknowledges the hard work of the volunteers.”
