This article discusses the differences and difficulties that the ARCHES project has encountered when setting up and working with participatory research groups as part of a large-scale European project. The article seeks to clarify how participation is experienced across different international partners and research groups. This is explored in relation to recruitment of exploration groups, understanding participatory research, and challenging the definitions of disability. It also shares our methods of working with the participants and the impact upon those ways of working within different cultural environments. The article aims to guide future projects alike.

: Exponents of Critical Heritage studies maintain that people, communities, events, and places linked with the working class are often underrepresented and misrepresented by dominant discourse. Working-class communities tend to be erased from official history or portrayed in a negative light. This article concerns the role played by a social history museum to promote social inclusion through representation made for and with a community faced by detrimental economic, social, and political social changes. Cultural reclamation is crucial for communities that bear the brunt of deindustrialization and the consequent loss of power, leading to social and economic dislocation. Changes in the world’s political economy have endangered many of these communities. These changes also threaten the heritage that provide these social groups with a positive sense of place and identity since low-income areas are often perceived as blighted, in need of bulldozer renewal by urban planners. This participatory action research demonstrates that circumstances may push social history museums to go beyond education and embrace social activism in an effort to bring about social justice.

This article explores the collaborative design, curation and assessment of a temporary exhibition that aimed to bring intellectual access to blind and partially sighted visitors. The multi-sensory desk concept is the core component of the inclusive design, and is the focus of this paper. Older people (65-74 years) are increasingly likely to experience sight loss and they are the fastest growing visitor group to UK museums and galleries. Presently there are approximately two million people in the UK registered blind or partially sighted, which will double by 2050. Accessible design guidance was reviewed and a working document of relevant guidelines developed. Most guidance is aimed at developing permanent exhibitions. This research was directed by co-production principles using a multi-methods approach. Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted with observations and note taking, along with open-ended interviews, co-creation workshops, visitor written feedback, and co-assessment sessions. The research participants were blind and sight loss visitors, curatorial staff, exhibition designers, SENSE and RNIB representatives. The resulting exhibition has achieved a positive experience and emotional impact for the blind and partially sighted visitors, through the opportunity for independent movement and thought, and subsequent learning and knowledge exchange. Over 15,500 people visited the exhibition in three months.
