UCL Workshop on 'Barriers to Participation with Archaeology Online'
This UCL ACRN workshop was held on 22nd May at UCL Institute of Archaeology, and presentations were made by representatives from the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Archaeology Scotland, University of Edinburgh, English Heritage, UCL's Public Enagement Unit, and the UCL Institute of Archaeology.
- I wanted to try to include people unable to make the event on the day, so a Twitter hashtag & etherpad was set up, and Doug Rocks-Macqueen, one of the presenters, was kind enough to offer to video the presentations. When the links are available to these, I will add them below.
