| About MEG |
| It is important to stress that MEG is not a commercial enterprise. MEG is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (no. 1023150), and is recognised by the MLA as a 'key subject area' ‘subject-specialist network’ . Members of the committee, who also function as charity trustees, initiate most of the activities of the group on a voluntary unpaid basis. One committee member has suggested that MEG might best be thought of as a ‘collective’ and is a lively, informal group of peers, who hope to learn from fellow members' experience and also share their problems and solutions. |

| Our Membership |
| Individual membership of MEG is open to anyone who is interested in museum ethnography. The group’s focus is on UK members and most current members work in museums with ethnographic collections, or are connected with University departments - teaching, researching or studying museum ethnography (or related fields such as museum and heritage studies, art history or anthropology and archaeology). Some members just have a strong personal interest in ethnography, and may volunteer at a local museum. In addition the group offers institutional membership to UK museums, which can nominate an employee to attend MEG events at membership rates, and to vote at the AGM. |
