Meet the Archivists: Unlocking the research potential of business archives for artists, architects and designers
The Business Archives Council of Scotland is holding its 2nd Meet the Archivists workshop on Friday 20th September at the Edinburgh College of Art.
The aim of this event is to bring together archivists, academics and this year artists to discuss and explore with students how business archive collections can be used for their research.
This year we are focusing on creative and design use of business archives. So this event is aimed at college of art students, architectural and design students but all students are welcome to attend.
Programme
The programme will feature talks from archivists and artists on the projects inspired by or that have made use of archive collections:
There will also be an discussion panel in the afternoon and over lunchtime an opportunity to meet and chat with archivists about their collections, plus practical demonstrations of how to find business archive collections online. A series of animation shorts inspired by the Edinburgh College of Art Archive will be screened over lunch.
A full detailed programme is available on the Scottish Council of Archives website http://www.scottisharchives.org.uk/discover/awareness/workingarchive/events/meetarchivists
Please bring this event to the attention of anyone you think might benefit from attending. To register for this free event, please visit the following link: http://meetthearchivists.eventbrite.co.uk/
