This document is aimed at museums in Sweden with collections that include human remains. The purpose of this document is to support museums internally within the organisation and externally in contact with the surrounding community. It has been compiled for museums of all types, but different museums may encounter different issues depending on the form of organisation or the size or types of collections. This is why every museum should set up its own policy documents and procedures suitable for its own museological needs and conditions. Other organisations with museum collections may also find this document useful.
