>> APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING
>>
>> Conference on Archive Resources in the North West
>> Edge Hill College of Higher Education
>>
>> 28th January 2000
>>
>> Not just another Conference: do you use North Western archive sources for
>> your own research or for your undergraduate and postgraduate programmes?
>> How confident are you that you know what is available in the North West?
>> And do you want to influence the establishment of the Regional Archives
>> Council?
>>
>> A Regional Archives Council is being established under the aegis of the
>> National Council on Archives as part of the Regional Cultural Consortium.
>> It is to represent the interests of users and custodians of archives and
>> is intended to improve access and encourage lifelong learning.
>>
>> The History Department at Edge Hill is hosting this year's event and it
>> hopes that all other History Departments, and departments from other
>> subject areas with an interest in archive-based research, will send
>> representatives to sample what is available and to participate in a
>> discussion about the Regional Archives Council.
>>
>> Jonathan Pepler of the Cheshire Record Office and Bruce Jackson of the
>> Lancashire Record Office have organised a programme which is designed to
>> encourage increased use of certain types of archive material, particularly
>> for student dissertations. The session concludes with a discussion about
>> future events and collaboration between users and managers of archives.
>> We hope that this will be the first of a regular series of conferences.
>>
>> Fees for the conference, which include lunch and refreshments will be:
>> £18.00 per person inclusive of VAT.
>>
