The SL@M Collection will prioritise student voices and experiences and will develop in partnership with our students. We aim to actively collect and preserve material culture of contemporary student life in Manchester, providing a platform for future research into the social, cultural and political lives of students today. You can help by offering ephemera to the collection and raising awareness across campus. Focus On session 2: Paul Ralphs and Ria Sunga, 'Opening doors: the story behind our Community Membership'.In 2024 the Library introduced a new Community Membership. This was done with the intention of opening the Library to a wide range of people giving them access to our Main Library space and collections, and in line with the University’s dedication to civic engagement.Our talk will discuss the decisions that informed the creation of the Community Membership, how many members we have, and how we plan to progress our engagement with new members of our Library community.
