archive catalogue is one of the outcomes of The Changing Face Project which documented the history of adult literacy, numeracy and ESOL between 1970 and 2002. We hope it will be a useful resource for those working in or researching this field or anyone who is interested in how it started and how it has come to be the way it is today. Although we have analysed and written up some of the information we were given, we know there is much, much more that we have been unable to explore properly during the lifetime of the project. The catalogue, then, is more than just a set of lists. It is a flexible resource that summarises the information we know about, where and how to access it. We are pleased to be able to offer this catalogue to the field as a marker of what we managed to achieve in the Changing Faces project. We hope that other people will add to it and fill in the areas we have not done justice to. What you will find in this catalogue is: • A brief overview of the project, and how we collected the archive material • Information about the oral history interview data collected by the project, where that is stored and how it can be accessed. • Thematic lists of the documents we hold in the CF archive at Lancaster, prefaced by a a short introduction to each theme, a location map and key showing the physical location of the material in the Lancaster University library archive. • Information and links to other archives we have found out about and consulted during our work. Each archive is briefly described to give an idea about what kind of information it holds. Making history is not just about dead people and faraway places and events. It is a living resource that we can all use to deepen our understanding of the present and to ground the crucial decisions that will be made in the future. We have found it fascinating to assemble this material and we hope you will feel some of the excitement we have experienced as you delve into the resources listed here. Let us know!! Mary Hamilton Yvonne Hillier MERGED LOCATION LIST FOR DOCUMENTARY ARCHIVE Overview of the Changing Faces Project The Changing Face Project took an historical look at policy and practice in the field of Adult literacy, Language and Numeracy (ALLN) between 1970 and 2002. By bringing together the perspectives of the main stakeholder groups on basic skills policy, the study aimed to identify the key issues and mechanisms that have driven change in the field. By assessing the relevance of the policies to the changing context of basic skills in everyday life, it makes a contribution to the effectiveness of future policy and practice in ALLN. The main findings from the project are summarised in Hamilton, M., & Hillier, Y. (2006). The Changing Faces of Adult Literacy, Language and Numeracy: A Critical History Trentham Books. Hamilton, M., & Hillier, Y. (2007). Deliberative policy analysis: Adult literacy assessment and the politics of change. Journal of Education Policy,22(5), 573-594. A major aim of the Changing Faces project was to create an historical archive containing both participants’ accounts of their experiences during this period and the documents that were circulating at the time. We have carefully catalogued and stored all the materials we collected. Digital versions of the interview transcripts
