Dear all,

Booking is now open for our annual Sporting Heritage Conference in November at the National Media Museum in Bradford via this link: 
https://www.sportingheritage.org.uk/events/sporting-heritage-photography-and-tv-conference-34067275137

Drawing together information and case studies which focus on two interlinked and hugely exciting themes, this event will provide delegates with practical advice and guidance about how to look after and provide access to collections; offer hands-on opportunities; provide information about our regional networks and how to get involved; time to explore the venue and network; and crucially provide in-depth case studies which demonstrate the role and value of Sporting Heritage, Photography and TV. 

This event will bring together practitioners, volunteers, and academics active and interested in the field of the sporting past, photography and broadcast. It will aim to:

Explore the exhibition, display and outputs of the sporting past as captured through photography and broadcast TV
Provide practical skills and knowledge for the conservation and access of these collections 
Understand how sport, photography and broadcast inter-relates 
Understand where these collections are held and how better to provide access
