Abstract

Presented by Chelsea Collison, Learning and Engagement Officer at London School of Economics and Political Science Library. This CIVICA Café event showcases how the LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science) Library’s engagement work brings schools and public audiences into conversation with the archives through facilitated workshops, co-produced events, and community-led creative projects. Chelsea Collison, Learning and Engagement Officer at LSE Library, gives a presentation on her work developing public-facing projects that connect archives with contemporary social issues. Her work focuses on co-production, creative practice and improving access to history. She runs workshops on archives and activism for schoolchildren and organises public events that open up the LSE's collections to a wider audience.
