Baptist history: the hidden treasure of a nation and Beyond
The Project’s strategic rationale and objective
Participation in the heritage of The Angus Library and Archive and its collections is currently difficult. In effect, it is a hidden history and one that is partly catalogued, unknown, unpublished and unseen. This project aims to change that and enable people to engage with this unique national treasure. The project’s overall objective is to:
To help more people engage in Baptist history and heritage both because their own heritage has Baptist roots and also because Baptists and the dissenting tradition had such a formative influence in the history of the UK.
Aims of the Activity Plan
This project aims to
use the Baptist history and heritage contained within The Angus Library and Archive to:
Support the creative use of primary source material within history teaching and learning at secondary school level
Increase the range of ways a broader adult audience can engage with this religious archive, including online catalogue access and strategic digitisation
Raise awareness and understanding of the future value of church records as a resource for historical enquiry
Underpin the planning and delivery of the project through a broad range of volunteering opportunities
