As part of the MSc in Information Management and Preservation, we are required to do a two-week full time cataloguing placement in a repository during our first semester as part of our Description, Cataloguing & Navigation course. The GNM Archive stood out to me immediately when we received the list of potential placement repositories as it is completely different from any other archive I have had the opportunity to work in, those being primarily medical or university archives. I didn’t know what to expect from the archive of an internationally renowned newspaper, as every archive has its hidden secrets and is sure to include some gems and oddities in its collections—but I was eager to find out what goodies the GNM Archive held.
