Life on the Outskirts: Making Sense of a Creative Life

小型创意企业如何利用档案促进公众参与、创意、商业和教育影响？基于HSF和KU的工作，后来与MMU开发，该项目考虑模型，以最大限度地发挥这些档案的影响。由Creativeworks伦敦资助，LOTO通过研究，数字化，教育和展览调动HSF独特的档案收藏。枢纽资金将活动限制在伦敦;将影响扩展到伦敦以外是一个关键的项目目标。我们将通过在利兹、伦敦和曼彻斯特的知识交流、公众参与和传播活动，测试调动创造性中小企业档案库用于公共教育和不可预见的经济应用的可行性。这扩大了LOTO期间学到的经验教训，开发了新的受众，并将获得的知识应用于其他档案馆和年轻的创意从业者。活动包括：1.学生档案工作坊在利兹，伦敦和曼彻斯特一系列跨学科的档案工作坊会议主办的利兹，MMU和KU大学将使用HSF档案的例子，并借鉴档案教学理论，以构建材料的创造性任务相关的从业者。这些工作坊测试了以前在更广泛的受众中试行的艺术和设计教学法的想法。讲习班制定的可转让的会议计划将使各种想法能够应用于其他地方。在利兹、曼彻斯特和金斯顿举行的平行会议将记录北方和伦敦艺术学校学生完成任务的方法差异，并鼓励学生通过博客、社交媒体和视频会议进行对话。与有关实物和创意产业的创意档案馆的联系HSF档案馆所解决的问题与全国其他档案馆相似。该项目将与金斯顿艺术档案学院、曼梅特特藏馆和金史密斯大学康斯坦斯霍华德纺织档案馆等小型创意档案馆建立有益的知识交流和网络活动。我们将建立一个由中小企业、学者和档案馆组成的网络，共同致力于为教育、商业和公众参与目的调动档案收藏。在组织之间交换档案战略将通过创造传播和合作的机会而有益于创意经济。一个探讨小型档案馆和拥有个人档案的中小企业问题的专题讨论会将使我们能够在全国范围内传播研究结果。与年轻的创意专业人士一起培养可持续的归档方法项目研究人员和HSF将指导来自利兹、MMU和KU的应届毕业生，他们与HSF的核心方法有着共同的实际关注。指导将开发创造性档案的创建，动员和利用技术-提供中小企业运营，档案研究和开发以及当代创造性实践中档案使用的专业知识。发展对话为主导的探索过去的创造力，指导将导致一个公共展览共同主办跨大学合作伙伴。指导过程将为应届毕业生提供新的咨询文件，详细说明开发档案的最佳实践，以最大限度地发挥商业和文化影响。LOTO中记录的项目通常由HSF与外部合作伙伴合作开发。这些联系提供了一个机会，开发技术，考虑多个作者的档案内容。该项目将联系过去的创意合作伙伴来实现这一目标。基于档案的商业产品的可行性研究需要对创造性中小企业档案未来商业应用的可能性进行更多的调查。我们将研究基于网络和移动的应用程序设计的潜力，利用档案来创建未来的产品。后续资金使我们能够开发概念，与制作公司协商，并建立一个HSF档案网站，以实现这一目标。

How do small creative enterprises use archives for public engagement, creative, commercial and pedagogic impact? Based on work by HSF and KU, later developed with MMU, this project considers models to maximise the impact of such archives.Funded by Creativeworks London, LOTO mobilised HSF's unique archive collections via research, digitisation, education and exhibition. Hub funding restricted activities to London; extending impact beyond London is a key project aim. We will test the feasibility of mobilising creative SME archive holdings for public education and unforeseen economic applications via knowledge exchange, public engagement and dissemination activities in Leeds, London and Manchester. This scales up lessons learnt during LOTO, develops new audiences, and applies knowledge gained to other archives and young creative practitioners. Activities include:1. Student archives workshops in Leeds, London and ManchesterA series of inter-disciplinary archive workshop sessions hosted at University of Leeds, MMU and KU will use examples from HSF archives and draw on archive pedagogic theory to construct material creative tasks relevant to practitioners. The workshops test previously piloted ideas on art and design pedagogy with wider audiences. Transferable session plans devised from the workshops will enable ideas to be applied elsewhere. Parallel sessions in Leeds, Manchester and Kingston will document differences in student approaches to tasks in northern and London art schools and encourage dialogue across student bodies via blogging, social media and video conferencing.2. Connecting with creative archives concerned with material objects and creative industryIssues addressed by HSF's archives are similar to other archive collections nationwide. The project will construct beneficial knowledge exchange and network activity with small creative archives such as Kingston School of Art Archives, Man Met Special Collections, and Constance Howard Textile Archives at Goldsmiths University. We will establish a network of SMEs, academics and archives sharing interest in mobilising archive collections for educational, commercial and public engagement purposes. Exchanging archival strategies across organisations will benefit creative economy by generating opportunities for dissemination and collaboration. A symposium exploring issues for small archives and SMEs with personal archives will enable us to disseminate findings nationwide.3. Fostering sustainable approaches to archiving with young creative professionalsProject researchers and HSF will mentor recent graduates from Leeds, MMU and KU who share practical concerns aligned to HSF's core approaches. Mentoring will develop techniques for the creation, mobilisation and exploitation of creative archives - offering expertise in SME operation, archives research and development and use of archives in contemporary creative practice. Developing a dialogue-led exploration of past creativity, mentoring will lead to a public exhibition co-hosted across university partners. The mentoring process will result in new advisory documents for recent graduates detailing best practice for developing archives to maximise commercial and cultural impact.4. Archiving collaborative processesProjects documented in LOTO were often collaboratively developed by HSF with external partners. These connections offer an opportunity to develop techniques that consider multiple authorship of archive content. The project will contact past creative partners to achieve this.5. Feasibility study on archive-based commercial productsThe possibility for future commercial applications from creative SME archives requires more investigation. We will examine the potential for web-based and mobile app design drawing on archives to create future products. Follow-on funding enables us to develop concepts, consult with production companies and construct a HSF archive website to enable this.
