Dear list members,
Please find below details of a workshop taking place in Glasgow in September. This is an in-person event and includes the opportunity to study some documents from the University of Glasgow's collections.
Exploring Archives as Physical Artefacts
Date: Thursday 14th September 2023
Venue: Archives and Special Collections, Glasgow University Library, Hillhead Street, Glasgow G12 8QE
Archival cataloguing, digitisation and research often concentrate on documents’ textual and visual content. But their physical form and appearance also contain valuable clues about who used them, where and how.
In this workshop, speakers from the University of Glasgow and Glasgow School of Art will share their experience of enhancing access to, and understanding of, collections by focusing on archives as physical artefacts. Participants have the opportunity to study some documents and consider how they might highlight their physical qualities through cataloguing, imaging or research.
The full programme and booking is on Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-archives-as-physical-artefacts-tickets-698899466117 .
