So today we are back researching after the Christmas vacation, and we are catching up with our project. Dan and I have taken a look at the evaluation forms we have previously used for archival projects. We recognise that we will need to revise these for both of our focus group interviews to get the best out of them. I will be meeting NREC (Northamptonshire Rights and Equalities Council) tomorrow, to discuss with them potential advertising for participants for the community focus group, drawn from their contacts with the community. We have also completed some planning on the focus groups and the conference. 

The rest of today has been conducting literature searches, looking at radical archive collections, BAME engagement and radical pedagogies. This literature gathering is to support the work to produce our best practice guide, which will be produced after the conference. We have also planned in a meeting with all the project group, to discuss the focus groups, teaching and teaching boxes from the archive and the conference overview for next week.
