Dear Colleague
The RED project is is a community archive of Liverpool football fans' personal photos and stories. Collected alongside the fans, the archive is then shared in creative and engaging ways through exhibitions, podcasts, books and events.Football may be the thread, but this project is about PEOPLE. We want to create a living, breathing archive. To offer opportunities for all ages, to come together and connect, to reminisce, to socialise, create and to share their stories. To do this.. we want to take the archive TO the fans. We're launching this Crowdfunder to renovate a vintage (BLUE!) caravan and turn it into The RED Caravan! As a mobile exhibition space we will tour Merseyside sharing the wonderful archive of fans' personal photos and stories and collect many more along the way.
This is a great opportunity to support a project that isn't about institutional archives, football players or the business of football, but will ensure that we capture the real experience of the fans. Not so much about the club’s history or the player’s accolades, but more the social and cultural history that wrapped itself around the game, the soul of the support and the deep sense of family and community. We feel this deserves every bit of the glory too. Please lend your support to our crowdfunder, share it with others and introduce businesses to our sponsorship opportunities.We are in the midst of establishing a community interest company to manage the process and the project will have good archival practice behind it.
