I have been working on an increased social media presence for De Montfort University Archives, recently starting a blog (http://artsandheritage.our.dmu.ac.uk/) and a Flickr account (https://www.flickr.com/photos/123446517@N06/).
With the help of a student volunteer I have created an online exhibition in the form of a Flickr album, using our run of prospectuses, which start in 1897. Taken together the prospectuses form a summary of twentieth century design and marketing history. Styles and tastes change, the presentation becomes more sophisticated, and the branding becomes more uniform. But always they aim to grab attention whether through their bold lettering, simple graphic, bright colour or unusual photography. The album of prospectuses is available here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/123446517@N06/sets/72157652219648730
Please do have a look! Using a Flickr album as a highly visual, low text online exhibition is a new venture so feedback welcome.
Best wishes
