* Collections of the Month: 'Festivals'
Floats and foolery, music and mayhem: this month the Archives Hub celebrates
the events that enliven the summer. We take a look at the records of
performers and organisers, focusing on August's highlights: the Edinburgh
Festival and the National Eisteddfod of Wales.

* Latest additions:
Descriptions from the Universities of Edinburgh, Exeter, Leeds, Leicester,
Nottingham, Manchester, and Reading, and from the Bodelian Library, the
Bodleian Library of Commonwealth and African Studies at Rhodes House,
Cambridge University Museum of Zoology, the Crafts Studies Centre, the
Institute of Commonwealth Studies, the Museum of English Rural Life, the
Royal Society (via National Cataloguing Unit for the Archives of
Contemporary Scientists), and the Scott Polar Research Institute.
These include descriptions of the papers of artist and potter Bernard Leach
(1887-1979); papers of biochemist Norman Wingate Pirie (1907-1997); and
