The Materiality of the Archive is the first volume to bring
together a range of methodological approaches to the materiality of
archives, as a framework for their engagement, analysis and
interpretation. Focusing on the archives of creative practices, the
book reaches between and across existing bodies of knowledge in
this field, including material culture, art history and literary
studies, unified by an interest in archives as material deposits
and aggregations, in both analogue and digital forms, as well as
the material encounter. Connecting a breadth of disciplinary
interests in the archive with expanding discourses in materiality,
contributors address the potential of a material engagement to
animate archival content. Analysing the systems, processes and
actions that constitute the shapes, forms and structures in which
individual archival objects accumulate, and the underpinnings which
may hold them in place as an archival body, the book considers ways
in which the inexorable move to the digital affects traditional
theories of the physical archival object. It also considers how
stewardship practices such as description and metadata creation can
accommodate these changes. The Materiality of the Archive unifies
theory and practice and brings together professional and academic
perspectives. The book is essential reading for academics,
researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of
archive studies, museology, art history and material culture.
