This virtual Briefing was organised by Friends of the Nations’ Libraries in collaboration with Research Libraries UK. It explains how the Acceptance in Lieu (AIL), Cultural Gifts Schemes (CGS), and Private Treaty Sales work and how they might benefit your institution - and your depositors and donors.
The main speakers are Anastasia Tennant, Joan Winterkorn and Mark Purcell, all with long and detailed knowledge and experience of AIL and CGS and we will also hear case studies from librarians that have acquired collections that benefitted from these schemes.
The UK tax code offers incentives to owners of important cultural and heritage items to transfer them to record offices, libraries, museums and galleries and specialist collecting institutions, ensuring that significant collections are saved for the nation and are made accessible.
