SUMMARY:Exploring Collections\, Archaeology\, and Empire: Creating narratives for younger audiences\, past present\, future
DESCRIPTION:Histories of collections present an opportunity to present inclusive narratives that are not usually part of museum interpretation. This is particularly true in relation to archaeology collections and histories of imperial collecting.  Recent reports (see Further Reading below) have focused on the lack of diversity across many areas – including publishing\, children’s literature\, and the curriculum. \nThis workshop will examine how collections histories\, histories of archaeology\, and archaeological artefacts and sites have been presented to children in the past\, and explore how new narratives could be presented in museums now and in the future. \nPlease register for a free ticket via Eventbrite at this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-collections-archaeology-and-empire-tickets-131586728447 \nExploring Collections\, Archaeology and Empire has been organised as part of a joint University of Reading and British Museum partnership project\, “Narrating the Diverse Past”\, currently being undertaken by Dr Amara Thornton (Research Officer\, University of Reading). \n  \nProgramme \n\n\n\n3.00-3.05\nWelcome (Amara Thornton)\n\n\n3.05-3.20\nSarah Saunders (Head of Learning and National Partnerships\, The British Museum) – Current Activities at the British Museum\n\n\n3.20-3.35\nFiona Melhuish (University of Reading\, Special Collections) – Empire and Archaeology in the Children’s Collection\n\n\n3.35-3.50\nSue Walker (University of Reading\, Typography & Graphic Communication) – ‘They lived like this’ books for children: Marie Neurath’s collaboration with museums\n\n\n3.50-4.00\nQuestions\n\n\n4.00-4.15\nAmara Thornton (University of Reading) – Archaeology Books for Children: A Brief History\n\n\n4.15-4.30\nMichelle Keeley-Adamson (MKA Illustrations) – Illustrating Archaeology\n\n\n4.30-4.40\nQuestions\n\n\n4.40-4.50\nWrap Up\n\n\n\n
