Throughout October-December 2023 the British Cartoon Archive be running a volunteer project as part of the British Cartoon Archive’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
‘Cartooning Covid-19’ will be a 10-week volunteering project which aims to make available cartoons published in national papers during the Covid 19 pandemic between March and December 2020. Through cataloguing these cartoons, we ensure that this important period in recent history is captured in the cartoon catalogue of the British Cartoon Archive for use in learning, teaching and research.
The project will run from 3rd October through to 5th December 2023 (10 weeks) using a hybrid model of in-person group sessions and remote virtual cataloguing. This opportunity is open to all, so if you do not live locally to Canterbury, you are welcome to join as a fully remote participant. Similarly, if you would prefer to participate in person only, that’s ok too.
