Radical Voices

We attended a rather unusual but inspiring event at Senate House Library earlier this month. The event was a series of talks under the banner Radical Voices, Radical Collections: Radicalism and Libraries & Archives.

There were some really great speakers from a wide range of institutions, we’ve written up our notes from our top three talks in this google doc.

These three talks have given us lots to think about for our Zines project especially in terms of acquisitions, discover-ability and communities/ groups to contact .

If any of the other talks from the programme are of interest get in touch.
