Special Collections & Archives Group

The group is co-chaired by Alexandra Mitchell (University of Salford) and Fran Robinson (University of Lancashire).

The remit of the Special Collections and Archives Group is to meet with other ALN library members to:

  • exchange ideas and knowledge
  • explore possible initiatives
  • share development of best practice
  • raise awareness of changes in the external environment
  • make connections between colleagues working in Special Collections and Archives

We acknowledge that active participation creates the biggest benefit for members.
