Tour of the Borthwick Institute for Archives

The Borthwick is one of the biggest archive repositories outside London. Since 2005 it has been based in a purpose- built building made possible by a grant of £4.4 million by the Heritage Lottery Fund. In this tour, Gary Brannan, the Keeper of Archives and Special Collections will showcase the breadth and importance of the collection relating to art and architecture. This tour will feature selected archives that showcase artistic practice, architectural design, and patronage, including rare and unique materials not found elsewhere. The session will also offer insights into how the Borthwick maintains these collections and ensures their accessibility for research, teaching, and enjoyment.
Cost: £15
