Description
Minutes of a board meeting held on 15th February 1939 in which the following was discussed: the Director read a letter from the Secretary of the Department of Education in answer to a letter sent by the Chairman in the last meeting. The board agreed to accept the measures from the Minister for Education in case of an emergency, details of which were read to the board. As much as possible, they agreed to follow the example set by the London Gallery and the same preliminary arrangements should be made, however the Director highlighted that no parallel could be made and it was best to accept the conditions laid out by the Minister for Education as they were, but the board remained steadfast and resolved to enquire for more information from the London Gallery. During the course of the meeting a letter from the Department of Education was received saying that, in the event of a European emergency, they would be responsible for transporting pictures from the Gallery for safe-keeping, and will absorb the expenses associated with this.
