MLA East of England is the strategic development agency for museums, libraries and archives in the region. We are part of the wider MLA Partnership with the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) and the eight other regional agencies. Together we work to improve people’s lives by building knowledge, supporting learning, inspiring creativity and
celebrating identity. The Partnership acts collectively for the benefit of the sector and the public, leading the transformation of museums, libraries and archives for the future. We receive core funding from the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.
