<p>In this episode, which is split up into several parts, <a href="https://linktr.ee/voiceed">VOiCE</a> is letting you get to know more about a 5 month internship project that concluded at the Centre for Research Collections at the end of 2021.</p> <p>Like to read whilst you listen? You can access the transcript for this episode <a href="https://voiceblog1.wordpress.com/2022/06/27/podcast-transcript-wghbu9-part-seven/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>Project One looked at historical connections between Edinburgh City, and Edinburgh University, and transatlantic slavery. For five months, the three interns – Ashlyn Cudney, Samantha Carrie and Nuzhat Torsa delved deep into the Collections and records. The long term aim is to understand what evidence, what narratives and perhaps even what gaps exist in the material the CRC holds because with more of an understanding of the content we hold, the more representation, diversity and understanding can be provided and the more access to relevant resources for research and conversation will become possible.</p> <p>You’ll be hearing from two of the project interns, Ashlyn and Samantha and from their line manager for the project, Lorraine McLoughlin.</p>

<p>In this episode, VOiCE talks to Samantha and Lorraine about outdated terminology and the ways in which an Archivist can grapple with vocabulary and context. As Part Six develops, Lorraine and Lily discuss how slow research utilizing archival sources can be and how this style of engaging with material can be beneficial from an ethical standpoint.</p> <p>Want to read whilst you listen.

<p>For this episode, I ask interns Ashlyn and Samantha to talk about a memorable narrative that they uncovered, or material that stuck with them even after this internship concluded. After five months of researching people’s lives in detail it was important to me that when I sat down with them that we didn't just talk about this material on a surface level. I wanted to hear names, places or important moments for them on this five month journey.</p> <p>In the second half, the conversation moves on to the concept of detective work, inclusion, useful databases and the confidence required to deal with a complex issue that has become divisive in the mainstream media. This section ends with a discussion surrounding accessibility and the sector based shifts from closed to open door policies. </p> <p>Like to read whilst you listen?
