In the final talk in this series aimed at sports clubs and societies, Laura Yeoman, Archivist (Access and Engagement) at Explore York Libraries and Archives Mutual Ltd will give examples of how you can use archive collections to engage existing fans, and attract new audiences.

By the end of the session you will have a clearer understanding of the opportunities and challenges around keeping your archives in-house, or whether you should deposit them with an archives service. You will also learn more about how to develop local archives projects, and how to share your history with your local communities. No experience is necessary – this talk is aimed specifically at beginners and those without a previous knowledge of, or interest in, history.

Please also see the other two talks in this series:

- ‘Managing Your Sporting Archives: What is an Archive?’ will explain what archives are and why they can be important to sports clubs and societies, as well as what you should look to keep.

- ‘Managing Your Sporting Archives: Storing Your Archives’ will explain how you can preserve your collections in-house for much longer, and the issues you need to be aware of.
