<p>DCMS continues to work closely and positively with IWM. The IWM remain fully committed
to maintaining IWMs presence in Manchester, London and Cambridgeshire. The IWM are
considering changes to how core collections including books are accessed at IWM London,
and a programme of digitisation of these core collections is in train so that those
across the UK and further afield who are not able to visit the museum sites in person,
can engage with IWMs subject matter.</p><p>All accessioned collection items, and some
(non-accessioned) books, ephemera, etc. will remain at or under the museum’s direct
management and will continue to be accessible by appointment. However, IWM is also
looking at a number of options, including possible transfer to other institutions
for the materials currently held in IWMs library that are not part of its core (accessioned)
collection, so that these might still be accessible to the public.</p><p> </p>
