Archiving Workshop

Archiving Workshop

Archiving workshop with AIU RACE Centre at Manchester Central Library.

To kickstart our H&N Project, our first workshop introduced us to the lives of Haideh and Nejad, the AIU RACE Centre and the art of archiving.

Our workshop participants were encouraged to think about what can be in an archive; photos, newspaper clippings, videos and objects varying from badges to books. We were shown some images from the H&N Archive and asked our participants to make their own archive label using the example provided by AIU RACE Centre.

They were encouraged to consider the following:

  • Where was the photo taken?
  • Who was in the photo?
  • What is happening in the photo?
  • When was the photo taken?

It was such a lovely way to introduce our participants and their families to the amazing lives of Haideh and Nejad Ahmadzadeh.
