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.\u00a0 Recent reports (see Further Reading below) have focused on the lack of diversity across many areas \u2013 including publishing, children’s literature, and the curriculum.<\/p>\n

This 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.<\/p>\n
