- audit of digital collections and corporate information assets across the whole museum
- gap analysis and benchmarking
- identifying opportunities and risks
- workshops and facilitation of internal steering group

Scottish Music Centre, Muslim Council of Britain and Commercial Clients
After assessing their collections and working with team members, I delivered:
- preservation and conservation reviews
- funding opportunities
- policies and procedures
- plans for increasing access to collections, including by digitisation
Clients have used these to safeguard their collections, widen audiences and secure additional funding.

Coaching and training
I work with individual clients in one-off or a series of sessions to help you think clearly and find balance. I provide a supportive, safe and challenging space. I aim to encourage powerful conversations with you to inspire new thinking so you create clarity on your direction, achieve professional goals, and enhance the quality of your life.
I train and mentor apprentices in archives and records management, supporting individuals to develop and reach their career goals.
“I appreciate Sarah’s clear, insightful and comprehensive taught sessions and the extra resources. It’s challenging me to review and reflect on my professional delivery”
