Session Abstract

Description: This workshop will provide a hands-on experience of some of the most recent developments by the education team at The National Archives of the UK in making their collection more accessible for school students. It will include examples of creating tactile versions of documents for use by blind and partially-sighted students, and early experiments in the use of AI to enable students to work with curated collections of documents in the classroom.
