Promoting the focus groups!

On the 20th January, the whole team met to discuss the project aims and to decide on the conference date, speakers, materials and focus groups. We decided to hold the conference on 4th June, and have created a call for contributors, rather than a call for papers. We are doing this so that it opens up the type of professionals who may want to come and attend, so that we get a mix of archivists, academics and those interested in archival collections which are radical. The call has gone out on social media, and we have several new twitter followers because of this, which demonstrates we are reaching a larger audience. We are working on the leaflets for the two focus groups now, and we are expecting those to be on the 4th and 18th March. Once the leaflets are finalised, we will promote them to students and use our community connection via NREC to promote to the community. An exciting potential new collaboration may have come out of one of our new connections too, so this is shaping up to be an excellent project with new engagement…
