We have been spending the last few months working on projects, and having online and phone meetings where possible, with the GMV music group, and LMS UK songwriting groups. We have also been trying different ways to stay in contact with people, by offering general support and being an ear to people, where we can, whilst continuing to work on other projects remotely.

These describe images in detail contained within sixteen panels from the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection. The information on each panel will be read out using a pen friend, or other hand held device.
This will enable sighted and visually impaired persons to have equal access to the artifacts within this portable exhibition.
