We have just been successful in securing £100K from the Joint Information Systems Committee for a one-year project to create a digital Olympics Archive. Our archive will be called East London Lives – a unique digital archive of ‘London 2012’. It will record and reflect on the process of social change in East London arising from hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games, focusing on two of the key Olympic promises - social regeneration and health and wellbeing.
It is a joint bid between three parts of our university - the London East Research Institute (Professor Gavin Poynter and Dr Iain Macrury), the Institute of Health and Human Development (Professor Adrian Renton) and Library and Learning Services. Our partner is the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.
