I have just come across Collections Link, a UK service. It is …

> … the new national advisory service for collections management managed by MDA in partnership with the Institute of Conservation (ICON) and the National Preservation Office (NPO). \[[Collections Link](https://www.collectionslink.org.uk/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]

It carries a range of materials, and presumably will develop further. Such advisory services are a feature of an environment with various sources of centralized public funding. In the educational sector, see [The Digital Curation Centre](https://www.dcc.ac.uk/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) or [TASI](https://www.tasi.ac.uk/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) (Technical Advisory Service for Images) for example.
