Letter in the Attic
Letter in the Attic will create an archive of personal unpublished papers collected from local residents. It will gather material, such as letters and diaries, which show the historical value of everyday 'non-literary' writings.
It will facilitate a Volunteer Training Programme to assist in the collection and storage of the papers. It will publish the material online, in a book, and will store it within a publicly-accessible archive. It will also create an Education Pack, based on the material, to be distributed to all local schools. The lead organisation in this project is QueenSpark Books
, who specialise in work with large-scale project work with diverse communities in Brighton & Hove.
The associated organisations in this project are the My Brighton and Hove website, the East Sussex Record Office, the Mass Observation Archive and the Centre for Life History Research at the University of Sussex.
