We had a packed day of presentations, discussion and networking at Stirling University. We would like to thank National Lottery Heritage Fund and the team at Stirling for making this event possible.

Sharing stories

All of our discussions centred around the different ways we can share stories. The day opened with a welcome from Alyn Smith MP and who was followed by a series of case studies. The slide decks for which are available below.

• Jacob O’Sullivan, Museums Galleries Scotland

After a networking lunch we returned for an update to National Sporting Heritage Day from Dr Justine Reilly including an introduction to Microform our new sponsor. Our afternoon session gave us a behind the scenes look at the work at Stirling University Archives.
