With plenty of tips for inspiring your own creative outreach projects, this webinar aims to inspire a new approach to your online engagement projects through a case study of the recent National Archives exhibition Letters of Love, Loss and Longing.

The Exhibition started life as a physical showcase of the National Archive’s collection of love letters which offered a glimpse into private worlds and exposed secret stories of heartbreak, passion and disappointment. As the pandemic hit, the exhibition transitioned to an impactful online experience and tapped into the feelings of isolation and loneliness experienced by many. The exhibition encouraged connection through the act of letter writing and presented the visitor with an outlet for their lived experience. Find out how this unique exhibition sparked conversation and reflection for visitors, both on and offline, and discover transferable best practice advice for inspiring new library initiatives.
