A major new tool which enables archives and museums to accurately assess their economic impact has been launched by the Archives, Libraries and Museums Alliance UK (ALMA-UK) and is now available on the AMLA-UK web site at http://almauk.org. 

 The Economic Toolkit’s publication is of particular importance during these difficult financial times as it will enable museums and archives to demonstrate to funders, and the wider community, the positive impact that their services have on their local and regional economies.

 The easy-to-use toolkit has been developed, under the guidance of ALMA-UK, by ERS Research and Consultancy, and is based on an extensive exercise to identify the most useful and crucially usable methodology for archives and museums, which share a similar economic perspective in that they attract a significant number of non-local customers.
