(Multi)Cultural Organisational Archives

（多）文化组织档案项目旨在开始编目、收集和公布参与英格兰东北部文化和社区发展的BAME组织的分散档案。该项目是诺森比亚大学人权委员会资助的研究“（多）文化遗产”的后续项目，该项目与纽卡斯尔和曼彻斯特的几个少数民族领导的组织建立了伙伴关系。该项目有两个研究领域：这些组织的运作及其共同的问题，以及他们在工作中反映的关于文化、身份和遗产的想法。 该项目的一个影响是，这些团体表示希望在奖学金截止日期之后继续对话，承担起超级组织的作用，以建设能力，领导能力和促进东北部的BAME文化。他们表示，这项工作的第一步是收集和保存有关其组织过去活动的各种材料和口述历史或“活档案”。 该档案项目将在2020年2月开始的12个月内开展以下活动：1。编目和开始收集适合存档的原始和数字文献和人工制品材料，这些材料与2000年以来东北部由BAME领导的文化部门组织的组织历史有关。参与组织将包括但不限于核心项目合作者Sangini，Vamos和NEEACA。来自其他一些BAME导向组织的额外材料，包括目前正在运作的和现存的，将被包括在搜索中;2。从2000年起，制作与东北部由BAME领导的文化部门组织的工作人员和志愿者有关的访谈和口述历史;3.通过YouTube、Vimeo、Historypin和维基百科将精选的材料数字化并发布，并在Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums（TWAM）展出，以实现项目的广泛公众传播;4.通过每两个月举办一系列讲习班、重点小组协商和培训班，在核心和更广泛的伙伴和利益攸关方之间保持密切的伙伴关系，以实现1、2和3项目标;与TWAM密切合作，调查并创建一个可持续的模式，用于项目合作伙伴和公共机构之间的托管，合作和交叉授粉，以指导未来的博物馆/档案馆政策和流程; 6.制定战略和方法，通过项目时限之外的定量和定性数据评估档案材料和分发媒体的影响。 诺森比亚大学将聘请一名博士后研究员承担大部分工作。所有三个合作组织（Sangini、Vamos、NEEACA）都将获得项目资金，以便规划和开展档案编目、汇编和数字化工作。将咨询几个具有档案专业知识的组织，并提供咨询和培训，以满足项目的需要。三个将组成该项目的顾问委员会，并提供正式的合作伙伴关系：Tyne & Wear档案馆和博物馆（TWAM），Angelou中心和日常穆斯林遗产和档案倡议。参与和影响将侧重于区域BAME文化组织，包括三个合作组织以及在文化和遗产部门工作的扩展和附属团体。公众，包括BAME公众，将受益于基于网络的策展项目，该项目将寻求与当地和全国其他在线公共历史企业（例如历史英格兰的100个地方倡议和ACE的变革者网站）的链接。通过最初的奖学金“（多）文化遗产”动员的政策组织也将参与上述规划和研讨会活动。

The (Multi)Cultural Organisational Archives project aims to begin to catalogue, collect and publicise the dispersed archives of BAME organisations involved in cultural and community development in the North East of England. The project follows on from the Northumbria University AHRC-funded research '(Multi)Cultural Heritage', a partnership with several minority-led organisations in Newcastle and Manchester. That project had two areas of study: the operations of these organisations and their shared issues, and, their ideas about culture, identity and heritage reflected in their work. One impact of that project was the expressed desire by these groups to continue the conversations past the deadline of the fellowship, take on themselves an uber-organising role to build capacity, leadership and promotion of BAME culture in the North East. They voiced that a first step in this work was to undertake archival collection and preservation of the diverse materials and oral histories or 'living archive' about their organisations' activities in the past. This archives project will undertake the following activities, over a 12 month period starting February 2020:1. Catalogue and begin to assemble original and digital documentary and artefact materials, appropriate for archiving, related to the organisational history of BAME-led culture-sector organisations in the North East from the year 2000. Participant organisations will include but not limited to core project cooperators Sangini, Vamos, and NEEACA. Additional materials from a number of other BAME-oriented organisations both currently operating and extant, would be included in the search;2. Produce interviews and oral histories related to the workers and volunteers involved in BAME-led culture-sector organisations in the North East, from the year 2000;3. Digitise and release a curated selection of the materials via YouTube, Vimeo, Historypin and Wikipedia, as well as a display at Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums (TWAM), to achieve a wide public dissemination of the project;4. Maintain a close partnership among core and broader partners and stakeholders in order to accomplish 1,2 and 3, through a series of workshops, focus group consultations and training sessions every two months;5. Work closely with TWAM to investigate and generate a sustainable model for hosting, collaborating and cross-pollination between project partners and public institutions for further activities beyond the project to guide future museum/archives policies and processes; 6. Establish a strategy and methodology for assessing impact of the archival materials and distributed media via quantitative and qualitative data beyond the time limits of the project. One postdoctoral researcher will be hired by Northumbria University to undertake the bulk of the work. All three cooperating organisations (Sangini, Vamos, NEEACA) would receive project funds to enable planning and carrying out the archival cataloguing, assembly and digitisation. Several organisations with archives expertise would be consulted and provide advice and training to serve project needs. Three will form an advisory board to the project, and offer a formal partnership: Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums (TWAM), the Angelou Centre, and Everyday Muslim Heritage & Archive Initiative. Engagement and Impact will be focused on regional BAME cultural organisations, both the three cooperating organisations, and extended and affiliated groups working in the cultural and heritage sectors. The general public, including BAME publics, will benefit from the web-based curatorial project, which will seek to link to other online public history ventures locally and nationally (for example Historic England's 100 places initiative and ACE's Change Makers site). Policy organisations mobilised through the original fellowship, '(Multi)Cultural Heritage', will also be drawn into the planning and workshop activities discussed above.
