As you may know, MIRRA has worked extensively with the organisation Family Action, and in particular on the associated Family Connect website. Read a Q&A session between Pete Williams and Julia Feast about the development of the site and MIRRA’s involvement. This is on Georgina Brewis’ (UCL Institute of Education) Charity and Voluntary Sector Archive Case Studies, part of a research project promoting the preservation and use of the archives and records of charities, voluntary and community organisations.
