‘Mining the Archives’ gave adults and children the opportunity to visit the Highland Archive Centre (in person or online), view a range of archives and use them as inspiration for creative writing. Over 230 people took part and submissions were received from people of all ages, including pupils from St Joseph’s RC Primary School, Inverness and Millburn Academy, Inverness.
The film (below) shows pupils visiting the Highland Archive Centre for inspiration and snippets of readings given in a follow up event. All submitted works can be seen on Highland history and culture website www.ambaile.org.uk under the ‘Content Highlights’ tab.
