UK Archives Education and Learning projects & activities

The AfELG Special Edition of ARC which was produced earlier in 2008 was packed full of articles written by the AfELG membership, showing how Archives all over the UK were involved in Education and Learning projects and ongoing activities.

We received such a response to our call for articles for ARC that we couldn't fit all the submissions we would have liked to into the printed edition. Happily, those whose articles didn't make it into the printed edition gave us permission to add them to our web pages as part of a set of case studies on Education and Learning activities from Archives around the UK.

We hope this resource will grow as time goes on and that it will further encourage the exchange of news and ideas for Education and Learning activities in Archives.
