Good learning resources stand the test of time. Back in 2006, I created resource boxes about the Railways, the Seaside and Victorian Childhood for the museums in the Tees Valley and the boxes are still regularly used by schools. I'm starting work with Head of Steam, Darlington Railway Museum, to find out what sort of learning resources teachers would like while the museum will be closed for re-development (December 2022 to Spring 2024) and when it re-opens. At Kirkleatham Museum, I'll be carrying out an audit of all their existing resource boxes and refreshing them in appearance and content.
