CS-IC-1447 Rural Policy Learning Commons (RPLC) People’s Archive of Rural Scotland (PARS) project

Tender description

This project aims to explore and make recommendations on how to capture, document and record the experiences of ‘under-represented’ people who live and / or pass through the Highlands of Scotland, and whose presence and contributions are important in understanding and presenting a more nuanced picture of the changing social, cultural and economic dynamics of the Region. This project has emerged from ongoing conversations with Dr Maya Darrell-Hewins (Shetland) drawing on her expertise in Community Archives and High Life Highland (HLH)- Highland Archive Centre. Through these conversations potential gaps have been identified in groups/communities and topics across the Highlands which are historically underrepresented in the Highland Archive Centre collections.
