Today the group welcomed the author Sarah Smith who delivered a workshop aiming to give members confidence finding and using archival material. The aim was to demystify what archives are, demonstrate the range of materials available to writers, and use them as jumping off points for our own writing, whatever medium we choose to write or create in. Sarah completed the workshop by encouraging the group to identify archival material that we may want to explore and gave space to write. Several members provided feedback to the group which received comments from Sarah who thought each example showed a real grasp of what had been discussed at the meeting.
