Join National
Library of Scotland curators and the Hitherto Unknown team to consider the
challenges of archiving non-paper texts, including film footage and web
publications. Marking International Women’s Day, this workshop offers a chance
to discuss how women are represented in web and moving image collections. Considering
the uses of these collection items, the ways in which everyday lives can come
to be viewed as radical statements is assessed.
Inspired by writer and
social activist, Tillie Olsen, this is one in a series of research workshops
across Glasgow that aims to uncover writers and stories silenced by the
barriers of gender, class and race.
