With the generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and in partnership with Tasglann nan Eilean/ Hebridean Archives and the Archives and Records Association UK & Ireland, the Scottish Council on Archives is pleased to open registration for a Community Archives conference at Lews Castle Museum and Archive in Stornoway.
Community archives encompass diverse organisations, collections and activities. They offer opportunities to inspire learning and enhance understanding, through the community's active engagement with their own heritage.
This two-day conference is aimed at anyone with an interest in community archives and heritage, from professional archivists, librarians, curators and heritage workers to independent community groups.
Through a range of case studies and presentations, conference participants will consider how community archives and conventional archive organisations can collaborate and support one another to achieve common goals. Speakers will provide insights on:
· Making the 'intangible' tangible - oral history and sound archives
· The innovative use of technology
· Collaborative techniques and partnership models
· Creating and using support networks
· Past successes and future possibilities for community archives.
The first day of the conference will be followed by a dinner in the Lews Castle ballroom. The second day of the conference will offer the opportunity to join a coach tour of historical sites and community archives. Attendees have the option of attending for one or both days.
