Furloughed staff
Dear The National Museum of the Royal Navy,
With some staff likely to be furloughed due to coronavirus.
What will happen to staff salaries and benefits? Are they likely to get their full pay or will they get the new grant which the Chancellor has set out?
Have you done an estimate of how many staff this is likely to impact?
If you do offer more generous pay than the Chancellor has announced how often will this be reviewed?
What is your recruitment policy in regards to this? As some staff maybe hired but will not be able to perform their job due to the pandemic.
Yours faithfully,
Abdul Hai
Thank you for your email.
From 21 December 2018 we are changing the way we deal with our historic
collections and archives enquiries and this will impact on your request.
We are temporarily closing the historic enquiries line for the next 18
months. [1]Why are we doing this?
Please take the time to read the following and learn how our service can
still help you.
Historical Enquiries
We are currently unable to respond to historical enquiries or requests for
access to the collections as we undertake the move of the collection into
new accommodation. This includes being unable to facilitate research
appointments or reproduction requests, as our collections will be
physically inaccessible while they are packed and moved. See more about
the project [2]here.
Our ‘Ask the Archives’ events, where our curators can help answer general
enquiries about the Royal Navy and family history, will continue to run.
Check out the [3]What’s On section of our website to see when and where
the next event is.
Also, check out the [4]Online Resources section of our website for helpful
naval history and related association links. You can also find helpful
guides on popular subjects in our [5]Information Bank section of our
website.
We are continuing to add selected collections to our new online
collections portal. Make sure to check them out [6]here.
Please note, this means historical enquiries will receive no response,
unless your request is outstanding before the end of 2018. We look forward
to opening an improved collections access service in Spring 2020. Please
resubmit any queries after this time.
Look for updates on the project, our collections and the future service on
our website and social media pages.
Offers of Material to the Collection
We are still accepting offers of material to the collection during this
time, details on how to submit a request can be found [7]here.
Enquiries about Previous Donations to the Collection
We will still be responding to requests by previous donors to view or
visit their items. However, we cannot guarantee it will always be possible
to make items accessible during this period. Please note responses to
these requests will be intermittent during this time and may take up to 2
months. Contact details are as follows:

by case basis. Please note responses to these requests will be
intermittent during this time and may take up to 2 months. Contact details
