Applications for the 2017 collection fund – application deadline December 7, 2016

Practical information for the application portal

The Museum Council reminds you that the application deadline for the museum fund is over. Wednesday, December 7, 2016. Apply through the council's application website: https://www.safnarad.is/umsoknavefur-safnarads/opin-skil/
An instruction sheet for applications can be found online: https://www.safnarad.is/media/leidbeiningar/Umsoknavefur-safnarads—Leidbeiningar-utg2.pdf

Some useful information:

  • In number fields, you can enter a fraction (for example, if the annual report for a museum shows 5.3 full-time equivalent positions). Please note: whether a comma (5,3) or a period (5.3) is used depends on your browser's language settings. Feel free to experiment.
  • Some users have been having trouble uploading attachments; please email them to safnarad@safnarad.is.
  • If an application is submitted more than once, the most recent version will be used. If there are any questions about which version to use, please contact me.
  • Regarding operating support: if museums have not had their 2017 budget approved, they must submit a draft budget. Once the budget is approved, it must be emailed to the museum board.
  • Some users have been saving applications in their browser and returning to them later to continue (without logging back into My Pages) – it has been reported that applications are not saving, even though the SAVE button is pressed and the yellow window pops up.
  • Always start each session by logging into My Pages and end each session by pressing SAVE!!!Is this extremely important!
  • Check on my pages to see if your applications have been sent; the collection board does NOT see saved applications, only sent ones.

 

Further information is available from the office of the board of trustees.
