Letters and papers from Colin and Gerri Kirkwood's time living and working in Edinburgh and the Lothian Region. Colin Kirkwood was employed by the Workers' Educational Association (WEA) South-East Scotland District from 1976 to 1986, first as Tutor Organiser and then as District Secretary while Gerri Kirkwood worked as a community adult educator on the Adult Learning Project (ALP) in the Gorgie Dalry area of Edinburgh, from 1979 to 1989.

Correspondence and papers relating to the implementation of the ideas and practices of the Brazilian adult educator, Paulo Freire. Colin Kirkwood first became aware of Paulo Freire in 1975. He began teaching about him, initially by leading reading groups in the Kirkwoods' home, and later submitted a proposal to Lothian Regional Council for a community-based project to implement Freire's ideas. The proposal was accepted and in 1979, the Adult Learning Project (ALP) was established in the working-class Gorgie Dalry area of Edinburgh. Gerri Kirkwood played a leading role in the ALP from its inception until 1989.
