DCDC16 | Material Culture And Established Narratives - Joanne Fitton & Vanessa Cardui
Channel: ResearchLibrariesUK
Date: 2017-02-02

Joanne Fitton (University of Leeds) :: Vanessa Cardui (Leeds GATE – Gypsy and Traveller Exchange)

The Brotherton Library and Leeds GATE are embarking on projects to connect Gypsy and Traveller communities with heritage collections, (one an established academic collection, the other an emerging collection owned and led by Travellers themselves). The collaboration aims to provide a better understanding of the needs of the community and scholars, and shape new narratives for the collections. We will explore the challenges of the collaboration and how a shared goal – to create a national strategy for Gypsy and Traveller heritage – is being redefined.
