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.
