Life on the Outskirts: Making Sense of a Creative Life

小型创意企业如何利用档案产生公众参与、创意、商业和教学影响？基于HSF和KU后来与MMU共同开发的工作，该项目考虑了最大化此类档案影响的模型。由伦敦CreativeWorks资助，Loto通过研究、数字化、教育和展览动员了HSF独特的档案收藏。中心为仅限于伦敦的活动提供资金；将影响扩大到伦敦以外是项目的一个关键目标。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，测试动员有创意的中小企业档案资料用于公共教育和意外的经济应用的可行性。这扩大了在LOTO期间吸取的经验教训，培养了新的受众，并将所获得的知识应用于其他档案馆和年轻的创造性实践者。活动包括：1.在利兹、伦敦和曼彻斯特举办的学生档案讲习班在利兹大学、MMU和密歇根大学举办了一系列跨学科的档案讲习班，将使用HSF档案的例子，并利用档案教学理论来构建与实践者相关的材料创造性任务。这些工作坊向更广泛的受众测试了之前试行的艺术和设计教育学想法。讲习班制定的可转让的会议计划将使想法能够应用于其他地方。在利兹、曼彻斯特和金斯敦举行的平行会议将记录学生对北部和伦敦艺术学校任务的不同做法，并通过博客、社交媒体和视频会议鼓励学生团体之间的对话。与涉及实物和创意产业的创意档案馆联系HSF档案馆所涉及的问题与全国其他档案馆馆藏相似。该项目将与金斯敦艺术学院档案馆、曼都特别收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型企业、学者和档案馆组成的网络，分享对动员档案藏品用于教育、商业和公众参与的兴趣。跨组织交换档案战略将通过创造传播和合作的机会而使创意经济受益。为小型档案馆和拥有个人档案馆的中小企业探讨问题的研讨会将使我们能够在全国范围内传播调查结果。与年轻的创意专业人员一起培养可持续的归档方法项目研究人员和HSF将指导利兹、MMU和KU的应届毕业生，他们分享与HSF核心方法一致的实际关切。指导将开发创造、动员和利用创造性档案的技术-提供中小企业运营、档案研究和开发以及在当代创造性实践中使用档案的专业知识。通过开展以对话为导向的对过去创造力的探索，辅导将导致大学合作伙伴共同主办的公共展览。指导过程将为应届毕业生编写新的咨询文件，详细说明发展档案以最大限度地发挥商业和文化影响的最佳做法。归档协作流程LOTO中记录的项目通常由HSF与外部合作伙伴协作开发。这些联系为开发考虑档案内容的多个作者的技术提供了机会。该项目将联系过去的创意合作伙伴来实现这一点。基于档案的商业产品的可行性研究创意中小企业档案未来商业应用的可能性需要更多的调查。我们将研究基于网络和移动应用程序设计图档的潜力，以创造未来的产品。后续资金使我们能够开发概念，咨询制作公司，并建立一个HSF档案网站来实现这一点。

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.
