A huge thanks to the education staff at the National Archives who hosted us for our annual visit and maps workshop.
Year 2 students on the Children's Book Design module were talked through both the ways that the Education team deal with both the maps source materials and artifacts with school groups and the various ways in which they lead the children towards learning about them.
