Girls Allied in the Archive

By 28th July 2023November 21st, 2025No Comments

Every Thursday

This programme has now finished, but we have volunteer archive and work experience opportunities in Nailsworth. Click here for further details.

Calling Teenage Girls …

Following on from our creative programme, our Girls Allied summer programme involves volunteering for detective work in the archive.

Discover how to create a narrative about a time, a place or a person from a seemingly random pile of negatives, slides and artefacts and acquire the practical skills that go with it. Then see the results of your investigation featured in our autumn exhibition.

The Thursday sessions are aimed at girls between the ages of 14 and 18, but anyone is welcome to help out in the archive on other days.

We will pay your travel costs, provide refreshments and lunch and at the end of the programme, you’ll get a certificate – it’s a great way to boost your CV! And you get a free T-Shirt!
