| | Hands-On Archaeology at Museum of London
To create more space for future archives, the museum is revisiting its archaeology dug in the 1970s and improving the storage and access of these collections by repacking the objects more effectively and efficiently.

In the Hands-On Archaeology workshop sessions you will have the opportunity to handle real pieces of pottery that were excavated during the 1970's, learn how the museum stores its archaeological collections and help improve the way these important artefacts are stored. These sessions are free, ticketed and led by Archaeological Collections Officers, Adam Corsini and Glynn Davis, who run the Volunteer Inclusion Programme at the London Archaeological Archive & Research Centre (LAARC VIP).

| Anglo-Norman London (10) at Museum of London
This ten week course covers the history of London from 1000 AD until c.1200 AD, but places it firmly in the wider context of the history of England. You will use written sources, archaeological evidence and art to understand the development of London and to examine what life was like for Londoners during the Anglo-Norman period.
The course starts on Monday 9 Jan 2012 and runs until 19 March, with a half term break on 13 February. This course is run in partnership with Birkbeck College: course code FFH1325H4 CB; CATS points 15; Level 2.
To book a place contact Birkbeck College directly via http://www.bbk.ac.uk/study, 020 7631 6651 or minicom 020 7631 6630. For general enquiries call 0870 444 3850 or minicom 020 7631 6630 or email info@bbk.ac.uk/fce.
NB: Due to changes in the way the government funds lifelong learning there has been a change in the way fees are charged by Birkbeck: if you do not already have a degree then you will qualify for a reduction and will be charged a lower non ELQ* rate ie £225 (or £115 if you are in receipt of benefit).
*ELQ = equivalent lower qualification (ELQ students are charged the higher rate/ non ELQ students are charged the lower rate).

| Port of London Study Group (10) at Museum of London Docklands
Join this self-directed special interest group which meets on Mondays at the Museum of London Docklands to share research ideas about the history, heritage and archaeology of the Port of London. The self-led concept is an essential part of the group: the goal being to establish a friendly, positive and supported learning environment for all.
The group is made up of enthusiasts rather than experts, who take it in turns to deliver presentations or lead walks in the summer. The meetings are held during term time and new members are always welcome - no previous knowledge or experience is necessary.
The third session of each term takes places at the Musuem of London in the city, where members receive IT help and training.
The spring term starts on 16 January 2012 and runs until 19 March. the summer term starts on 23 April 2012 and runs until 9 July.
If you are interested in joining please contact our Box Office on 020 7001 9844.
