Gateways to the First World War

Title	'Swaythling in World War One' at the Roundabout Café, with a modern version of the Princess Mary Gift Box, 20/12/17
Description	With the support of the Mansbridge Residents Association, the association for those living in social housing in the Swaythling area of the city, we staged an Exhibition entitled 'Swaythling in World War One' at the Roundabout community café in Swaythling. The exhibition featured items created by the local residents at our co-creation day on 13/12/2017, and a modern version of the Princess Mary Gift Box given to those serving in the War in Christmas 1914 was given to each visitor who attended. Feedback was collected at the event on what people had learned from the project and whether it had made any difference to them.
Type Of Art	Artistic/Creative Exhibition
Year Produced	2017
Impact	Feedback collected at the vent was overwhelming positive, with visitors indicating that they had enjoyed the exhibition and that they had learned about the history of their area, many indicating that they had little idea of the role played by Swaythling in World War One prior to the project. What was most gratifying was the number of 'thank yous' received, particularly from older members of the local populace, the opportunity to get involved in the project providing for many the chance to get out of their homes and socialise within their community. Conversations on where to take this next followed, with the need to create something which would maintain the engagement of the older generation but also involve local school children paramount. Currently I am working with community partners to submit an application to the HLF's First World War: Then and Now scheme.

Title	First World War Exhibition with Simon Langton Grammar Schools, Canterbury (William Butler - Research Network)
Description	Through a series of workshops, both at my institution, and at various libraries and archives in the South East, the school students interacted with a range of sources and speakers. This permitted many of them to carry out their own research, which led to the creation of two exhibitions. Artist and curator Patricia Wilson Smith worked with the students to enable them to develop ways of showcasing their research effectively. Together they devised a narrative framework to tell Canterbury's wartime story, selected the materials and formulated their presentation. This culminated in two public exhibitions- one at the Gulbenkian Theatre, the other at The Beaney Institute, Canterbury.
Type Of Art	Artistic/Creative Exhibition
Year Produced	2014
Impact	The project allowed the students to gain knowledge of local history and heritage and to develop presentational, exhibition and research skills. As public exhibitions, they also provided a different perspective of the war for local people in Canterbury. The sessions which took place in late 2013 and the first half of 2014 have meant that both schools are carrying out their own projects during the 2014-15 academic year, with the support of the research centre, and will form part of an Extended Project Qualification for the students involved.

Impact	These accompanied the public lectures delivered by me at the dining events and on other occasions (public festivals etc.) where lectures were delivered as an invited speaker. Several of these events sought to promote diversity and inter-communal understanding around the history of food and sustainability, for example the Preston Feast for Peace, which is an annual event showcasing diversity in food organised by the city council and community volunteers as a riposte to the rallies by the Britain First group, or the Merseyside Writing on the Wall Festival, which is an annual writing festival hosted to promote creativity within BEM communities. An additional public impact has been the loaning out of the exhibition to community groups wishing to hold their own exhibits and events exploring the under-documented aspects of the First World War. For example, in 2018 the exhibition was loaned to the Imperial War Museum's Women's Work 100 project and to a community history project in Devon, south west England.

Type Of Art	Artistic/Creative Exhibition
Year Produced	2017
Impact	Feedback from The Museum of Military Medicine: 'Historically the Museum has not tended to produce temporary exhibitions and this project provided the impetus for us to redevelop one of our galleries as a temporary exhibition gallery and also to engage volunteers with the research necessary to stage the exhibition. This enabled the volunteers to work on research skills and to think about the process of putting on an exhibition. Because we also opened the project up to members of the public, we also had a wider uptake of interest in the research aspects.'

Organisation	University of Southampton
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	This is a research project led by Dr Roy Edwards (University of Southampton) in collaboration with Hampshire Cultural Trust and Southampton City Council, Arts and Heritage. The project was awarded funding from the Gateways Research Fund in November 2015. The fEC of the award was 15,000.
Collaborator Contribution	This project seeks to develop public understanding of and engagement with Hampshire's industrial history using archives from the Thornycroft collection in the care of Hampshire Cultural Trust and Archives held by Southampton City Council Arts and Heritage, both of whom are Community Partners in this project. It will inform the themes of life on the home front as experienced by the workforce and managers of John Thornycroft Ltd. As the company was engaged in the production of vehicles and ships, this will also contribute to our understanding of how war production was organised. This research will be used as a basis for enhancing the contextualisation and interpretation of the Thornycroft Collections held by the two community partners. Members of the public will benefit from improved interpretation in the gallery devoted to Thornycroft and in the street scenes at Milestone Museum in Basingstoke. There will also be new online resources, talks and a workshop. Volunteers will have the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills whilst supporting the cataloguing and management of the archive collection held by both partners. Volunteers with accounting, legal and/or business skills will be made aware of how their expertise can inform historical analysis.
Impact	This project is in its very early stages and has not yet produced any outputs. Those planned are: Academic Outcomes - Journal article targeted at the Journal of Transport History. The subject matter will reflect the results of the archival investigation and reflect how WW1 shaped the workplace and the production of engineering products within Thornycroft. - This project offers the opportunity to develop a case study that explores the impact of WW1 on Thornycroft as a business. - The opportunity to work with museums and archives enhancing the engagement skills of the academic partner through having to present work within a different context, namely a museum/archive display. Community Partner Outcomes - Increased awareness and understanding of the Thornycroft collections amongst staff, volunteers, researchers, special interest groups, visitors to the museums, online visitors and event participants - Increase in visits to the Thornycroft Gallery at Milestones and events stimulated by project - Increase in volunteer numbers and volunteer hours directed towards Thornycroft collections - Increase in use of online resources relating to Thornycroft and Hampshire's industrial history - Increase in visits to the archives in Winchester and Southampton - Increased engagement with the local University and appreciation of the wider academic debates that will be informed by the collections. Wider Community Outcomes - Greater knowledge and skills in research and collections management developed amongst collections volunteers through the workshop and regular meetings. - Greater knowledge and interest in Thornycroft and Hampshire's industrial history amongst general public and special interest groups - Increase in engagement between museums and archives and family historians, local clubs and societies - Educational audiences through University outreach activity and input into Business History education within the University through lectures to educational establishments.

Collaborator Contribution	This project uses a variety of historical sources to reveal the largely forgotten history of the Belgian community in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and surrounding areas during the First World War. Building on research mainly done by local resident Alison Sandford Mackenzie and working with volunteers from the Camden Road Education, Arts and Theatre Enterprise (CREATE) the project aimed to recover the largely forgotten story of the Belgian refugees who sojourned in the area, the 'colony' that they built, and their interactions with the host community. Volunteers utilised digital and archival resources to make posts to an online blog about the refugees and their hosts and to produce a local Belgian Community Heritage Trail, which has been made available to local people, school students and visitors to use free of charge.

Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	This is a research project led by Professor Alison Fell (University of Leeds) in collaboration with Sara Robinson (independent producer), Morgan Malcolm (writer), Dani Parr (director), Kate Bunce (designer), The Unthanks (folk group), The Exchange Theatre, Manchester and the National Archives, Kew. The project was awarded funding from the Gateways Research Fund in May 2015. The fEC of the award was £14944.93.
Collaborator Contribution	This project is undertaking research into First World War nursing, resulting in complementary academic and creative outputs. First, it feeds into Alison Fell's and Christine Hallett's (both network members) ongoing research into WW1 nursing memoirs; second, it will turn Sister Edie Appleton's published diaries 'Nurse At The Front' into a well-researched and innovative theatrical production. The project has so far: 1. Held a successful event in the National Archives (Dec 2015), Kew, involving a diverse audience and involving Alison Fell, Christine Hallett as speakers, as well as an archivist from the Royal College of Nursing, and a reading of Edie's diaries. Other events involving students are in preparation and will take place later in 2016. 2. Christine Hallett and Alison Fell have so far attended 4 meetings with the creative team, introducing archival materials, answering questions about historical context of the diaries, and finally commenting on drafts of the script. The draft script is now complete. 3. We have sourced relevant WW1 nursing materials, including annotated reading lists, introductions to relevant databases and archival holdings, and other nurses' diaries. These will feed into the HLF bid in preparation, and will form the basis of the educational package. 4. Alison Fell gave the academic paper in September 2015, and it has since been published online.

Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	This is a research project led by Professor Richard Grayson (Goldsmiths, University of London) in collaboration with Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle de Londres and Newham Sixth Form College. The project was awarded funding from the Gateways Research Fund in November 2015. The fEC of the award was 14,974.69.
Collaborator Contribution	This transdisciplinary project aims to uncover the lives of Francophones in London during the First World War, more specifically in 1916, studying both the refugees but also permanently settled communities in the capital, and the interactions between these two separate groups and the British. It is being carried out through a 'History Club' with students at the London French secondary school (Lycée français Charles de Gaulle) and NewVIc (Newham Sixth Form College). It will relate to the Gateways theme of 'life on the home front'. The project aims to broaden the historical perspective on the First World War of children of the Francophone community and lead them to act as historians. The project will lead to an exhibition (which would be mobile and travel to a number of places over time). The exhibition will be available on a bilingual basis (French-English).
Impact	Francophones in London during WWI Research Fund project: School visits in January and February 2016 The main output will be an exhibition available on a bilingual basis (French-English) which will be mobile and travel to a number of places over time. Throughout the project, the team is also managing a blog (hosted in the Lycée's website) where pupils either transcribe or describe interesting stories that they have found in the archives. It is hoped that Grayson and Faucher will present the initial findings of the project at Home Front during the First World War conference organised at the National Archives in September 2016. This three-day conference specifically targets community projects and researchers. Once the project is completed, Grayson and Faucher will write up an article to be submitted to a leading historical journal with the aim to further elaborate on the pupils' research and publicise the project to the academic community.

PI Contribution	Gateways hasorganised a number of collaborative events with the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Gateways team has worked with a number of groups developing applications to the Heritage Lottery Fund, offering academic guidance and advice on project development. The work carried out has culminated in eleven successful applications to the HLF during 2015, with twenty applications currently in development. The centre has also provided support for projects which have already been awarded funding from HLF by providing academic talks, training, advice, volunteer recruitment, and support for events and publicity. In addition to the centre's work with project groups and regional offices, the team has supported the central HLF team in their attempts to generate interest in the First World War Then & Now Scheme. Zoë Denness took a lead in developing the joint engagement centres website http://ww1engage.org.uk/ (liaising with Prof. Sarah Lloyd of Everyday Lives and Anna Jarvis of HLF) to make it a more suitable platform for introducing HLF groups to support available from the centres. The site was therefore able to be launched in June 2015.

Organisation	University of Portsmouth
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	This is a research project led by Dr Brad Beaven (University of Portsmouth) in collaboration with the Portsdown University of the Third Age. The project was awarded funding from the Gateways Research Fund in November 2015. The fEC of the award was £14,458.59.
Collaborator Contribution	This Project investigates the impact of the Battle of Jutland on British society through identifying the communities of the 6,100 sailors who lost their lives in the conflict. It has been traditionally assumed that most naval sailors were enlisted from seafaring communities since the navy recruited sailors directly from their base ports rather than establish recruiting centres in the UK's major cities (as was the tradition in the Royal Marines). The project will test this theory by mapping the 6,100 sailors killed in Jutland and assess whether certain communities suffered disproportionally from others.
Impact	Mapping Jutland Research Fund Project: Research Skills Workshop Additional planned outcomes: 1) A Community Research Toolkit workshop and 'researchathon' event. 2) An electronic map of UK identifying men lost at Jutland. The National Museum of the Royal Navy are funding and designing a website and phone App so that the data will be publically accessible. It will have the facility for the public to up-load images, data and stories related to Jutland. The map will be part of their temporary exhibition 'Clash of the Titans: Jutland 1916', a major temporary exhibition between May 2016 to May 2017. 3) Exhibition for the National Maritime Museum (May/June 2016). 4) Co-presented paper (Bassett & Beaven and U3A colleagues) reflecting on the research process and findings at the 'More than just Jutland: the Royal Navy at war, 1914-18', conference University of Southampton June, 2016. 5) Co-authored (Bassett & Beaven) article for International Journal of Maritime History.

Collaborator Contribution	This project aimed to see the rediscovery of the 'national kitchen' - the British model of public feeding witnessed during the First World War - in time for its centenary (1917). It resourced the establishment of historically-informed pop-up 'national kitchens' in the North-West of England based in community kitchens and food banks run by social enterprise The Real Junk Food Project. It therefore sought to heighten historical awareness of public feeding in WW1 by re-creating the 'national kitchen' in today's sites of public feeding / food aid. Feedback from The Real Junk Food Project: This was a really worthwhile project and added a lot of value to our activities. The academic partner was supportive and collaborative; we felt like our voice was heard and that we shaped events. Our volunteers were all very positive about the events and we gained volunteers through this historical initiative. We felt that the educational value of the project added a valuable dimension to our work in combating food waste and food poverty.

The fEC of the award was £6843.21.The project aimed to connect people with the unpublished diary of Alfred Cockburn which offers a rare insight into a neglected area of First World War military history: the role of hygiene and sanitation officers within the Royal Army Medical Corps. Historians at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) worked in partnership with the Army Medical Services Museum to engage volunteers in the co-design and co-production of research into the diarist, and areas of military hygiene and sanitation.
Collaborator Contribution	The project has added to the museum collections by initiating a dialogue between the owner of the First World War diary, the diarist's grand-daughter, and the museum. After the project exhibition has ended, the diary will remain in the care of the museum on a temporary loan, with the view to making it of a more permanent nature in the near future.

Description	The Stobs Internment Camp and the Borders Region during World War I. Local Memories, Global Contexts
Organisation	Aston University
Department	School of Languages & Social Sciences
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	This is a research project led by Dr Stefan Manz (Aston University) in collaboration with the Scottish Borders Council's Heritage Hub. The project was awarded funding from the Gateways Research Fund in May 2015. The fEC of the award was £14,757.00.
Collaborator Contribution	The two main aims of the project are, first, to contribute to memorialisation of the Stobs Camp as a site of mass internment in the Scottish Borders region during the First World War. Second, to embed its global implications both within regional memorialisation and academic scholarship. Residents of the Scottish Borders Region will gain a new understanding of their place in World War I history within a global context. To achieve these aims, a number of initiatives are planned. These include a study weekend for the general public, academic input into local information materials, and a number of academic outputs.
Impact	This project is in its very early stages and has not yet produced any outputs. Planned outcomes and outputs are: 1. Study weekend for the general public. See project plan. 2. In cooperation with local partners production of information materials for the general public: a website, an app for iPhone/Android based on the 3D modelling currently produced by the RCAHMS, and printed information materials. Concrete input from academics' expertise will, for example, include maps and pictures of camps in Britain and the Empire, and repository information on sources which are not held locally. In this, Manz has already advised Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission. The website will be more comprehensive and interpretive than the only one which exists at the moment (http://stobs-camp.bizhat.com/). The electronic materials will be developed with input from media students at Hawick High School. They will constitute accessible teaching resources to teach First World War history in local schools. 3. Extended press engagement through PR-agency 4. Academic outputs by Manz, all informed by interaction with the general public and with due acknowledgement: - comparative article on Stobs and Knockaloe for Immigrants and Minorities. Special issue on internment, edited by Panikos Panayi and Zoe Denness; proposal to be submitted by July 2015; write-up during grant period - article for Scottish Historical Review on Stobs within the context of imperial internment structures -two papers and one workshop at Brigham Young University and Utah State University -chapter on colonial residents deported to Stobs in co-authored monograph, with Panikos Panayi: Interning 'enemy aliens' in the British Empire during the First World War. First positive reactions on draft proposal from Cambridge University Press series editors (Publications of the German Historical Institute Washington). Publication of this output will be after the end of the project period. 6. Follow-on funding application to be led by community partners with advice from participating academics.

There were presentations on three projects which have received HLF funding, a talk from an HLF Representative and a talk by Dr Chris Kempshall of the East Sussex First World War Project. Many members of the audience are considering developing submissions to the HLF for First World War related projects, so there was enthusiastic engagement and interest, with wide ranging questions. The event was aimed at community and other groups with an interest in First World War history, or who were already working on a project investigating the history of their community in the First World War. The aim was both to introduce them to Gateways, to stimulate their research ideas via presentations by historians, by the HLF and by representatives of groups who have been awarded HLF funding for First World War projects, and thus to encourage them to work with Gateways to develop projects and apply to the HLF. Promising discussions developed in particular regarding bids to the HLF from community researchers based in Eastleigh and Bramber/Beeding. These will be followed up by the Co I and Community Historian, both of whom were present. Discussions regarding bids to the HLF from community researchers based in Eastleigh and Bramber/Beeding.

Results and Impact	The purpose was to mix academics from the Engagement Centres with community partners to discuss FWW heritage and current projects. There was lots of discussion about what was working regarding public engagement and what might be improved upon. My role was as one of the facilitators who fed discussions back to the wider group. The event was filmed. Following the event discussions focused upon how we might improve out EC activity. It also forged some relationships between communities, academics and academics with communities. I was accompanied by a community partner from Zap Arts and we began discussions around a new project that she is developing. If the funding bid with the HLF is successful we will meet to see what further support we can offer.

Results and Impact	We worked with a class of 30 students from Year 7 and 8 at the Prebendal School, Chichester. Students were taught how to research individuals from the First World War and they then examined a series of databases to find out information on former pupils of their school. The objective of the session was to enable students to build a history of their school in the war, which we will work with them to put on the project website, to develop a report on their work and to design a small exhibition. Following the session, the school's teacher declared their commitment to the project and the team will work with the school to develop a programme of engagement and a dissemination event with the school regarding the history of former pupils in the war. An activity which they would not have been able to do otherwise. The teacher reported to us: "Thank you very much indeed for putting on today's visit. It was a great success and the children loved it. In the words of one little boy, Henry, who is in Year 3, who said to another member of staff on returning to school, "That was brilliant, I'm going to go to University when I am old enough!" I think we can safely say that they were inspired and were shown that the great thing about history is that it is about researching to create a great story that is accurate."

Primary Audience	Schools
Results and Impact	The CI of the project worked with school students to produce pieces for a blog. These fed into the exhibition which was prepared over the summer of 2016. There was a wide ranging interaction between the academics and the students: the participants expressed different research interests and were encouraged to follow these up when possible. Interests included: British press perception of refugees, the use of Francophone advertisements in London-based newspapers and the experiences of refugee children. NewVIc students also took the opportunity to ask Charlotte Faucher about studying at university, university teaching and application process as they knew she was lecturing at Queen Mary. The visits led to an exhibition (reported separately). The participants have gained better insights into the making and practice of history. They used archive materials and understand the challenges of research. Much of our discussion focused on Belgian (and to a lesser extent French) refugees in Britain and this had two consequences: • To challenge the frequent historical domination of the French population over the Belgian people • To add to the historical knowledge of the participants as few of them were aware of the refugee crisis which struck Britain during the First World War.

Results and Impact	Dr Mary South, a Blue Badge Heritage Guide, and I led a heritage walk entitled 'Common History', utilising research from the project into the vital role that Southampton Common played in the Great War. The walk ran three times as part of the Being Human festival's 'Hands on Humanities' day at the University of Southampton Avenue Campus. The purpose of the walk was to stimulate thinking on the wider history of the Common and why it was so vital to the war effort. The audience were shown a series of key sites on the Common and prompted to ask questions and consider how the space would have been experienced by visiting troops. The walks were very successful with the walkers genuinely surprised to learn that the Common was covered in tents for much of the period 1914 to 1918. The impact was a firm decision to consider more walks for the Swaythling area, prompting a dialogue with Barbara Cooke on a health awareness raising initiative that Radian wanted to run with support from the City Council. Mini walks in Swaythling are now being developed as part of that initiative to run in summer 2018.

Results and Impact	The project held 'national kitchen' recreations across the English North West, the Midlands and Scotland with The Real Junk Food Project. The most important impact of this activity was using history to change contemporary attitudes around social eating. As the graph below illustrates (figure 5) , the vast majority of respondents were inspired by the event to the extent that they expressed a desire to participate in similar future events. The event thus provided a publicity and volunteering boost to the community partner. Further, it changed attitudes around the manner in which food poverty is dealt with, highlighting the limitations of the basic food bank model and the positive impacts of communal dining, which are detailed in the feedback comments above. All the respondents who had used a foodbank said that they would use a national kitchen model if they came across one in the future. The audience reported a change in opinion and behaviour and wellbeing due to the events.

The students will give presentations based on their findings to French villagers (probably via Skype!). A notable impact of this activity was the discovery and use of an unmined personal archive. Penelope is not keen to develop a bid, but she is still keen to engage and for others to make use of the boxes of material she has.

The project is to produce artistic responses and get the local communities involved in contributing other local and family memories. After discussions with Peter, I've offered to do a session on different ways in which FWW deaths were commemorated - different kinds of memorials - personal, local, national etc - and look at some mourning artefacts we have in the Liddle collection. This will happen in March 2016. This will stimulate the artist/songwriter, and act as a framework for some of the other outputs attached to the HLF project.

We also gained advice from local historians on other sources of information and relevant local archives. This succeeded as a networking event - providing contacts for recruiting to our public workshops. It was also an opportunity for academic project partners and other attendees to learn more about the internal dynamics and organisation of the WEA, and some of its current policy concerns (and to think more closely about how research into its activities in the First World War can help in how it re-assesses and communicates its current purpose).

Presentation given by project PI, Dr Eleanor Quince, as part of a Great War Unknown War Study Day, Uncle Sam Goes to War: The United States in Conflict. The audience for the Study Day were very engaged with the presentation and asked lots of questions about the American presence during World War One, the US Naval Airbase and Lady Swaythling. The questions received helped to further shape the existing research in advance of the final output, the Exhibition, but also added to it with audience members providing information on local family members who had fought in the war. The audience also indicated an interest in the role played by Southampton Common during World War One, prompting further research. Following the Study Day I got in touch with Dr Mary South who I met through the Heritage Guides training. Dr South, a Blue Badge holder, and I worked on a heritage walk entitled 'Common History', utilising the research into the vital role that Southampton Common played in the Great War. The walk ran three times as part of the Being Human festival's 'Hands on Humanities' day, 18/11/2017, at the University of Southampton Avenue Campus (which is just next door to the Common).

Results and Impact	The student volunteers created a 'stall' in the Riverfest History tent displaying our research findings on the Remount Depot, the US Naval Airbase and the people of Swaythling and their activities during World War One. Members of the public were invited to answer a few short questions on what they knew about the role of Swaythling between 1914 and 1918 on entering the tent. They were then asked to look at the display and asked what they would like to know more about. Children were invited to colour facsimiles of World War One postcards, 'sent' from the Remount Depot. The day-long event resulted in an improved understanding how the public think about the history of the Swaythling area. Most people were surprised to learn that so much happened in such a small area and reported that their views on the history of the area were changed. Following the event we discussed the information gathered with our Community Partners to inform planning for our future interactions with the local residents.

There was some excellent feedback from the schools about what the pupils, teachers and parents/carers had got out of the sessions. They produced short sketches after engaging with the material which was filmed.

Results and Impact	Eight students worked with Community Partner Jo Basham to deliver a short tour of the Royal Victoria Country Park, site of the former Netley Military Hospital. Although the hospital building is no longer there, the chapel, train station and jetty have survived. There is also a cemetery and, in the picnic area, evidence on the ground of the placement of Red Cross tents during World War One. The students delivered a tour of these features twice and took questions from the audience. They also produced an information booklet on the site. Following the activity we learned that very few people in the Hampshire area know of the significance of the park during World War One, although they enjoy regular visits to the Royal Victoria Country Park. This led to further discussion with Community Partners Jo Basham and Cheryl Butler as to how we might raise awareness of the use of the site between 1914 and 1918.

Results and Impact	This event at the Leeds City Museum was one of three events which aimed to bring together community groups and other organisations who are working on projects around the heritage of the First World War, or who are interested in developing such projects in order to share experiences, exchange ideas, learn about resources and explore possible sources of funding. The event included stalls and / or presentations from 11 community groups and heritage organisations. There was a range of round table discussions between all attendees, which included speakers centre staff and FWW HLF applicants at enquiry, development and award stages. The questions discussed were: - What are the main challenges when developing an HLF project application and what solutions can you suggest? - What networks are available that will be of assistance to developing projects? - What local FWW histories are under-researched, hidden or silenced? - How can we ensure that FWW projects appeal to a broad range of participants and audiences? - What can the engagement centres do to add value to your project? - What barriers do community projects encounter in practice and how can these be overcome? The event also included a digitisation workshop from the Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis. A report on this aspect can be found here: http://www.qub.ac.uk/research-centres/CentreforDataDigitisationandAnalysis/News/#d.en.525612 10 out of the 13 attendees who provided feedback reported that the networking opportunities were the most valuable aspect of the event. This has been taken on board by the engagement centres when planning future events. The event enabled relationships to be strengthened between the individual engagement centres and with partners such as the FWW Centenary Partnership, HLF and Historypin.
