Course aim
To provide students with an overview of different types of print, object, sound, celluloid and digital archives and why these matter when it comes in preserving, recording and recounting the past.
Course content
Students will learn about the past, present and future of archives; what they reveal about our official and unofficial cultural history as well as that which has been forgotten, neglected or ignored. Having considered how new and future digital innovations may impact traditional archiving, students will develop a creative reuse project using new technologies. Students will critically analyse the ethical and legal implications of open access and distribution of digital archives.
