1 July 2013, White Cube Gallery Bermondsey London

Many arts organisations are interested in locating and exploring their archival heritage. What are the driving forces behind this interest? How much archive material survives, where and in what condition? What can archives tell us about the history of these organisations and how important are they to their contemporary activities? Organised in partnership with ARLIS\UK & Ireland this study day aimed to explore these questions, providing reflections and case studies from academics, curators, artists and archivists.

Contributors included Dr Dominic Paterson (University of Glasgow); Ross Sinclair; Marysia Lewandowska; Dr Julie Bacon (University of Kent); Dr Francis McKee (CCA Director and GSA Research Fellow); Prof Beryl Graham (CRUMB at University of Sunderland); Donna Romano (NIVAL) and a key note presentation by the artist Gerard Byrne.
