Archives+ Interpretation Concept
The Centre for Museology has recently completed the development of an interpretation concept for the new Archives+ initiative (funded by Manchester City Council and Renaissance NW) that will bring together Manchester’s largest archives and records in the Manchester Central Library. The Centre has developed a concept that aims to express the aspirations for Archives+ and inform the design of the physical spaces for the archives, activities and displays. The interpretation concept is also informed by relevant and good practice and takes into consideration the realities, aims, practices and challenges of the partners, the physical environment of the Library, the nature of the collections and the users’ needs.
