UCL Special Collections

UCL Special Collections is one of the country’s leading collection of archives, rare books and manuscripts.  The Outreach programme aims to create inspiring and engaging learning experiences for a diverse non-specialist audience in UCL’s home and neighbouring boroughs (Camden, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest), increasing awareness of, and access to, the university’s collection.

The New Curators Project is a part of the teams’ Outreach Programme and it is planned that it will run each year as part of Newham Heritage Month.

A visitor enjoys looking at some of UCL’s rare books with a Rare Books Librarian. Many who work in the sector are specialists who must find ways of presenting and interpreting historical resources for non-specialists.
Although this project is being run online, it will focus on accessing much of the resources at Newham’s libraries and archive and UCL’s collection of rare books, archives and manuscripts.
Bringing historic collections to new audiences, such as school groups, is an important part of working in the cultural heritage sector.
