There are still some spaces on this workshop. Although the case study is focused on the medieval scribes the discussion will be broader and open up possibilities around a range of collections. Bring along any project ideas you want to discuss or share.
Knowledge Share Workshop
Research, Learning and Engagement through the Late Medieval English Scribes Project
Wednesday 23 September 2015 Noon - 4.30pm (lunch provided) Cost: FREE
London Metropolitan Archives, 40, Northampton Road, EC1R 0HB
This free event is designed for heritage professionals, teachers / facilitators, academic researchers and students interested in finding out about how the Late Medieval English Scribes project developed, supported by an Arts,
Humanities and Research Council (AHRC) Follow-On grant (engagement). The session will explore starting points and discoveries, considerations in submitting an engagement-focused bid, the planning and delivery of learning and engagement activities, and how the
project has inspired a range of imaginative practice in opening up collections for different users. These ideas will transfer and participants will have time to discuss and share ideas about their own projects / collections.
Workshop Leaders: Dr Linne Mooney, Professor of Medieval English Palaeography at York University; Dr Estelle Stubbs, HRI Research Fellow and Research Associate on the Medieval Scribes Project, University of Sheffield;
Jan Pimblett, Principal Development Officer, London Metropolitan Archives and Symeon Ververidis, Development Officer (Schools), London Metropolitan Archives.
