Royal Festival Hall Archive box listing participants
The Royal Festival Hall Archive aims to collect, manage and preserve information,
documents and artefacts relating to events and exhibitions held in the performing arts
and public spaces of Southbank Centre. This includes the Royal Festival Hall, Queen
Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and outdoor spaces around the Southbank Centre site.
Southbank Centre has embarked on a process of reviewing the scope and content of the
Royal Festival Hall Archive and exploring options for its future organisation and access.
Box listing is the crucial first step in the process of organising the archive and opening it
up for public use. The resulting box list will inform decisions about the final arrangement
of the archive and will form the basis of a catalogue.
We hope to recruit a positive, energetic, creative and mutually supportive team of
volunteer participants with a mix of pre-course, trainee or qualified archivists.
• Box listing will take place 2 days per week for 12 weeks between November 2008 and
January 2009.
• Participation is voluntary but we can reimburse expenses with a per diem of £14 per
day.
