What is UMAC?
UMAC strives to:
- Clarify the role, requirements and relationships of university museums and collections with the university and its communities
- Assist the preservation of academic and cultural heritage
- Promote university museums and collections within governments and their agencies, institutes of learning, the broad museum sector, the professions, business and the population generally
- Provide advice and guidelines for those collections which are emerging, isolated, deteriorating or otherwise in need
- Facilitate international and regional collaboration to stimulate networking, partnerships and research and to initiate exchanges of artifacts, exhibitions, standards, practices and other information
- Encourage staff in charge of university collections to participate in museological training, mentorship and career development
