Exploring images of women in the archives

Exploring images of women in the archives In-Person

This session gives the opportunity to explore the wide range of ways in which women have been pictured in the University’s own institutional Archive, the Special Collections, and the National Fairground and Circus Archive.

Using original photographs from the nineteenth century to the present-day participants will consider what one can tell just from an image (and what one can’t), how women have been described in the catalogue, the ways in which contextual information may assist in revealing hidden stories in the archives, and the impact that language originally used to describe historic items may have today.

The session will take place in The Digital Scholarship R&D Zone on level 4 of Western Bank Library.
