FED - The Federation of Yorkshire and Humberside Museums and Art Galleries

About the Fed

Founded in 1931, the Yorkshire and Humberside Federation of Museums and Galleries was one of the first regional federations to be established.  It is the only dedicated membership organisation for people working in or for the benefit of Museums and Galleries in the region.  It exists to represent, support and develop its members through regular meetings, newsletters, training, consultation and lobbying.


How we work

The Fed is a membership organisation run by you, for you!

The Fed is administered by an Executive Committee made up from its membership, and elected by you, the members, at the AGM.  The Executive Committee reports back to the
membership via quarterly meetings, which are open to all.

The Fed is only as active as its members.  The Committee is open to all and we are very keen for members to express an interest in joining the Committee to keep a flow of new
ideas coursing through the organisation!

If you wish to become more involved in the running of the Fed, then you are eligible as a member to stand for election to the Fed Executive.  To find out more about getting
involved, contact or talk to one of the Executive Committee.
