Material Cultures - Assignment 2

The assignment for this term is all based upon archives and how they are important to society with how they present a way for us (the public) to be able to look back at the past and to see how things have changed; such as the fashions and to be able to see how they come back around over the years.

As part of this terms assignment we were asked to visit a couple of talks on various different archives that were mainly situated within the university campus. I chose to visit the special collections archive in the MMU All Saints library and the Design Council Slide Collection in the Holden Gallery. I particularly found the latter archive more interesting out of the two.

Here are a couple of photos displaying a selection of slides from the Design Council's Slide Collection;
