Exchange: Exploring experiences of empire, migration and life in Britain

Abstract

• Over the last year, the ‘Exchange: Community-Led Collections Research’ project has helped galleries, libraries, archives and museums to work with South Asian, African and Caribbean diaspora organisations to answer research questions identified by these community groups. National Museums Scotland and Royal Museums Greenwich, London, worked as a hub to gather evidence for best practice and provided expert guidance to partner organisations around the UK. Dr Yahya Barry, the Community Collections Research Hub Manager, tells us more about the project and its impact.
