Abstract

There are over 120 archives and special collections held across UAL.

This workshop, held in Camberwell’s new Special Collections Room, will be an opportunity to engage with material from Library Special Collections (illustrated books, artists’ books, the Walter Crane Collection, the Camberwell College historical archive) and the Camberwell ILEA Collection; and to take part in an Object Based Learning activity.

The session focusses on creative ways of using collections to enrich curriculum design and delivery. It will equip academic, technical and support staff with knowledge of how to access these resources, and identify opportunities to work collaboratively with staff responsible for collections.
