This is the correct link for the new funding for Museums by the Arts Council The key thing is: Grants of between £500,000 and £2 million will be awarded for a period of three years, April 2012 - March 2015, and only accredited museums with designated collections will be eligible to apply. Most museums are accredited, the designation system is, to my mind, very haphazard and so this restriction of major grants to these combination is very restrictive. According to MLA: The (Designation) Scheme was launched in 1997 and now recognises 138 collections held in museums, libraries and archives.' A look at the list of museums shows that in London at least a lot of important museums are missing and a lot of archives are present who have a very low public profile.

Some nice reviews! Amazon.co.uk: Customer Reviews: Divorced, Beheaded, Died: The History of Britain's Kings and Queens in Bite-Sized Chunks : Bought this as my first down loaded book ever. I have always been a keen but amateur historian and this sounded fun to read on holiday. I completely enjoyed the easy flow of the book, keeping each king or queen to a paragraph made them easy but memorable. Also some of the lesser known stuff such as Cannut and the Jews. I would recommend this to people who's children are daunted by the tomes that are normally presented to school kids to learn about our past. This is much more user friendly and will be sticking with me as a reference or just for a cheeky read from time to time. I hope to find more like this as i go along.
