Photographers and Archives Session 1: Creating the Archive with Alison Nordström and Hilary Roberts
in partnership with the VII Foundation
In a three-part conversation moderated by Paul Lowe, curators Alison Nordström and Hilary Roberts draw upon their vast professional experience to consider how archives are created, what is involved in maintaining them for future generations, and issues associated with their access and exploitation.
What is an archive (including the difference between a collection and an archive)?
Who creates an archive? What is its purpose? What should be included (proactive vs passive collecting)?
How should it be organized? What is the cost of creating an archive? What is its value?
What are the essential decisions when creating an archive?
