This book proposes that the performance of archival research is
related to the experience of tourism, where an individual immerses
herself in a foreign environment, relating to and analyzing visual
and sensory materials through embodiment and enactment. Each
chapter highlights a particular set of tangible objects including:
pocket diaries, portraits, drawings, magic lanterns, silhouettes,
waxworks, and photographs in relation to actresses, authors, and
artists such as: Elizabeth Inchbald, Sally Siddons, Marguerite
Gardiner the Countess of Blessington, Isabella Beetham, Jane Read,
Madame Tussaud, and Amelia M. Watson. Ultimately, operating as an
archival tourist in my analyses, I offer strategies for thinking
about the presence of women artists in the archives through
methodologies that seek to connect materials from the past with our
representations of them in the present.
