Exhibiting the Archive examines the role that exhibition plays in
archives and analyses the impact they are understood to have on how
users and visitors experience the archive. Drawing on research
conducted in Europe, North America and Australia, the book analyses
the key theoretical and social influences on exhibition-making in
archives today and discusses the role of exhibitions in the
archives of tomorrow. This is the first in-depth study to consider
exhibition as more than outreach or advocacy: it frames exhibition
as an encounter with archives and with people, and interprets it as
a mechanism for change within the archive. Against a backdrop of
increasing digital activity, Lester asks what experience within the
physical space of the archive could be. Drawing on ideas of
spatiality and embodiment, as well as social justice and activism,
Lester considers the role of exhibitions within the physical
archive and the part they can play in reshaping how experience is
understood to happen within it. Exhibiting the Archive offers a new
perspective on the archive that will be of interest to academics
and students engaged in the study of archives and records. The
discussions of cutting-edge practice offer new insights into how
exhibitions are conceived and made, and will therefore be of
interest to practitioners around the world.
