This event is aimed at members of ARA SW region and non-members - also open to archivists, volunteers, curators and librarians who are responsible for collections working in archives, special collections, museums and galleries.

Heritage professionals can play a role in not just supporting but acting as collaborative partners and leaders in scholarly research. This session offers a chance to hear about different partnerships and case studies within the South West.  It will also provide a space in which to explore overcoming barriers and how academia could potentially work with you.
