What is an archive? What might you find when you go looking? Do you have to be an expert to find your way around one?
In this six-week course, you’ll explore how diffierent kinds of writing are informed by and respond to archives in a variety of ways. Whether you have a project you would like to develop and are seeking guidance on how to intergrate archival research into your work, or would like to unlock inspiration for new writing, this course will provide you with the tools needed to progress confidently.
Through a combination of themed lessons, interactive exercises, and a final assignment with written feedback, you’ll expand your ideas on archives and how you can respond to them in writing, develop essential research skills, and learn how to structure your own narrative arcs.
The course runs at National Centre for Writing, Dragon Hall, 7-9pm, each Tuesday for six weeks.
