Resources
TEG offers its members a number of online resources and publications to assist exhibition organisers and programmers. With the exception of the Research webpage containing a summary of TEG's major research report, Mapping the Touring Landscape, published in 2007, access to pages in the Resources area is restricted to TEG members with a valid login for the site. If you are not a TEG member and are interested in joining, please see the Membership page.
The new Handbook of Good Practice in Touring updates and replaces the hard-copy 'Touring Exhibitions', which TEG edited in 1995. The Handbook comprises contributions from experts in the field, usually members of TEG themselves, from all parts of Great Britain. It contains practical information on all aspects of organising, touring and hosting exhibitions, and complements the revised Standards for Exchanging Exhibitions, which was re-issued under the MDA's Collections Link banner in 2006.
Our six-monthly Exchange ('X') brochure is mailed to all members in spring and autumn. It keeps TEG members and associates informed about forthcoming events, membership services and resources and the latest additions to our web site, including a list of titles of TEG members' newly available exhibitions for hire. Full details of exhibitions listed in the publication are included in the online Exhibition Search database. Exchange is available for download to TEG members only, but a copy of the current issue can be ordered from our Publications Manager (see Contacts) at £10 including p&p.
In addition, each issue of Exchange features a case study to help TEG members to share ideas and practical tips on organising, hosting and touring exhibitions. We are keen to hear from any member who would like to contribute a review of an exhibition they have hosted or a successful collaborative project – for more details email: judith@teg.org.uk.
Other publications available on-line include summaries of papers presented at themed seminars based on case studies. TEG also welcomes articles, reviews and current case studies contributed by members and corporate members. If you would like to contribute an article to the web site, please contact our Membership Manager: judith@teg.org.uk.
Our on-line databases of Exhibitions, Venues and Members are available to TEG members to help them find new exhibitions to hire, or search for partners and collaborators for exhibition projects. Each database is searchable under a number of categories, including subject area and region, to help our members identify the perfect match to suit their needs.
In addition, TEG members can use our Jobs & Notices webpage free of charge to advertise their current job vacancies or post news about projects, events and opportunities relating to touring exhibitions. The current charge for advertisements by non-members in Jobs & Notices is £40; please email judith@teg.org.uk for details.
