We supported our stakeholders (volunteers, schools, members of the local fossil hunting community, palaeoartists and university researchers). We recruited new volunteers and worked with members of the local fossil hunting community to conserve and retain several new significant fossils for the museum collection. We facilitated on-going University research and fostered positive collaboration between fossil collectors. We acted on feedback from our stakeholders and built a new central display cabinet to facilitate displays of larger fossils including the temporary exhibition of a Mantellisaurus skeleton. We continued to commission the expertise of a local fossil preparator and prioritised the conservation of fossils in the collection including a vertebra from an unnamed species of rebbachisauroid dinosaur. The museum shop stocked several ranges of palaeoart created by local artists and new ranges of replica fossils and palaeoart produced by our volunteers. We led fossil hunting trips for members of the public and schools. We gave talks to local interest groups and continued to implement our plans for improving the museum's displays.
Stakeholders include: Local Fossil Hunters, UK and some International Fossil Hunters who visit the museum, Local palaeoartists, Visitors to the Isle of Wight, Dinosaur Isle Museum, Local and UK schools and universities who visit the museum. Vectis Archaeological Trust and Isle of Wight Natural History and Archaeological Society. No formal consultation was undertaken, but there were regular informal consultations with local stakeholders discussing progress and our plans for the future. We have listened to their suggestions and ideas on changes to existing displays, expanding the exhibition space and development of additional facilities for visitors which we have incorporated into our plans.
