Historic Footage, New Stories: finding inspiration in the NLS archives
In this workshop you’ll learn to explore the National Library of Scotland's Moving Image and Sound Archives, discovering sights and sounds from across Scotland’s history. Taking inspiration from what you find, and supported by University of Glasgow-based writer Michael Deerwater, you’ll use your observations and experiences to begin crafting your own story.
