Sue Breakell, Archivist and Research Fellow at the Design Archives, is the keynote speaker at a workshop on ‘Archives and Archival Practices’ at the University of Northumbria on Friday 24 May 2013. This interdisciplinary event considers the role of archives in contemporary culture and the diverse forms that archives can take. It looks at the use of archives in art, design and film history, conservation and creative practice, and considers the preservation and digitization of these resources in relation to issues of accessibility and cultural memory.
