Many objects held by museums and heritage organisations may not have obvious links to the Cold War. However, by reconsidering how we define and contextualise heritage collections, we can reveal new Cold War narratives and broaden our understanding of this pivotal period.
This symposium welcomes anyone interested in research, access, and education across the fields of heritage, military history, social history, and collections care.
There will also be opportunities for attendees take part in a tour of the National Centre for Aerial Photography and see Cold War collections at the National Library of Scotland.
