Dataset description

This dataset consists of thirteen transcripts from a series of semi-structured interviews conducted between November 2021 and February 2023 for the collaborative PhD project 'How do ethics influence the development of policies for accessing public collections which are essentially restricted by law? A case study of the Royal Armouries'. Conducted with five members of the Royal Armouries' collections department, these conversations sought to reveal the intricacies of the routine management of museum weapons collections and the central role of museum registrars in providing access to these heavily restricted objects. These conversations were structured around four major themes - legislation, governance, ethics, and access - examining their complex interplay in the everyday pursuit of responsible weapons stewardship by a national museum.
