Contemporary Collecting: a practical workshop

This workshop is being organised by the Specialist Subject Network (SSN) in Urban Social History and the Federation of Museums and Art Galleries of Wales.

Following the success of the SSN day held in Bristol last year a new workshop has been arranged to build upon gaps identified at that day. The workshop is free and open to all.

A mixture of speakers from the SSN steering group and guests with practical case studies will be present. Under discussion will be why should we bother with Contemporary Collecting?, Contemporary Collecting Strategies and using Outreach as a tool for Contemporary Collecting.

With time set aside for discussion of the issues, information sharing and learning from each other, the aim is that participants will finish the day armed with practical ways to go about writing a Contemporary Collecting Strategy, as well as some ideas for how to put it into practice.

The workshop will run in Cardiff on 11^th October and in Newcastle on 18^th October.
