Paper Trails
The Social Life of Archives and Collections
Edited by Andrew W.M. Smith
The aim of the BOOC, ‘Paper
Trails’, is to create a REF-able multi-, inter- and pluridisciplinary open
access, open education resource. It will bring together a diverse group of
people – researchers, practitioners and students –and historical collections
(print, object and digital) held in the UCL libraries and museums as well as
those held externally.
The project aims to enable collaboration between unlikely partners to help break down barriers that currently exist in academia and to open up the world of historical research. It will reveal how the work and methodologies of researchers, academics, education practitioners and students interrelates, providing opportunity for collaborations beyond the usual parameters these fields present. In doing so, it will forge links with communities of learners within UCL and externally and make an original contribution to knowledge.
