From the Money and Medals Network:

MMN?Training Day – 15/06/2023 (10:00 – 17:00)

Join us on the MMN Training Day as we provide unique, hands-on learning opportunities to develop your skills in coin identification, cataloguing, as well as storage and display techniques for coin collections. Participants will gain practical knowledge from experienced professionals in the field of numismatics.

Warwick Numismatics Day – 16/06/2023 (9:00 – 17:00)

We are also excited to announce the return of the Warwick Numismatics Day, which serves as an excellent platform for showcasing current research as well as for developing new ideas, methodologies, and networks. 

This year’s theme is on imitation coinage, referring to coins deliberately made to resemble genuine coins, but not produced by the official minting authorities. Such coins can be a source of important historical and cultural information, shedding light on issues such as local economic conditions, political affiliations, and artistic styles. Imitation coinage can be found from various historical periods and in various parts of the world, making it a fascinating area of study for numismatists and historians alike. 

This year’s conference is organized by Campbell Orchard and Suzanne Frey-Kupper. Our plenary speaker is Clive Stannard, Honorary Research Fellow, University of Warwick. 

For any enquiries please email mmn@warwick.ac.uk

What is a Carbon Literacy course?

A Carbon Literacy course will give you an understanding of what climate change is, the scale of its effects, and how museums fit into the global, national and local picture to address climate change. You become Carbon Literate by making an individual pledge, and an organisational pledge to take back to your museum, of what you can do, and is in your power to achieve, to make a significant difference to your carbon impact.

Who are the courses aimed at?

The courses are for paid staff, freelancers and volunteers who work in or with Accredited Museums or those Working Towards Accreditation in England. We advise that, where possible, two people from your organisation attend the course for peer support when developing actions.  

What does a course involve? 

The courses are delivered online over four modules. In order to become certified as Carbon Literate, you must complete the entire course and submit your individual and organisational pledges. By booking on a Carbon Literacy course, you are committing to undertake 7.5 hours of online training. 

Module 1

Independent learning: Pre-recorded course introduction and the basic science of climate change to be completed independently before the live sessions. This section of the course takes 1 hour 30 minutes to complete with links to the pre-recorded content shared by email one week ahead of the first live session.

Module 2

Live online session: Focussing on the impacts of climate change, equity and vulnerability as well as the roles of museums in tackling the climate crisis and green recovery. 

Module 3 & 4

Live online sessions: Focussing on carbon budgets, the UK and international policy, carbon footprints, action planning, talking about climate change.
