Introduction to the Cultural Policy and Management Information Service

+++++ N.B. Site under revision and updating +++++

If you haven't visited the City University website before you may not know about Cultural Policy and Management Department's Information Service. This has many hundreds of links to other websites of cultural organisations around the world, from both governmental and non-governmental international orgnaisations, through relevant national ministries to the websites of individualo arts and hertiage organisations and institutions across the world. There are also large number of links to policy and operational documents and guidance plus many original documents, together covering almost all aspects of cultural and heritage polucy and management.

This website was first established in 1995 by Patrick Boylan, then Head of Department and now Professor Emeritus of Heritage Policy and Management, and over the subsequent years it has been greatly expanded by him, with the assistance of staff colleagues, successive generations of students of the Department, and by very many others interested in the field. We believe that this pioneering resource for all interested in the cultural sector remainsthe most comprehensive of its kind available. over the last 6 years and you will find hundreds of links to policy documents, arts organisations and many other arts establishments across the world .

Suggestions for further additions are always very welcome: pleasesend these by e-mail to Professor Patrick Boylan P.Boylan@city.ac.uk
