Collaboration & Dissemination

An important aspect of the AIMS Project is the engagement with professional colleagues already active in this area including Bodleian Library, Oxford, the Parliamentary Archives and Wellcome Library (see the links page). 

We have also worked with a range of institutions including LSE, Northumberland Estates, John Rylands University Library, Manchester and the West Yorkshire Archives Service who are all undertaking similar journeys.
