Part of The Ruskin’s series of Laboratories – your opportunity to get involved in our work.

Why, how and for who do we keep things?

We will think about these questions using paper, digital and 3D material from archives in the North of England, spanning 1731 to today.

Through activities, workshops and talks, explore the relevance of the design archive today for different uses, and users. Our findings will shape The Ruskin’s exhibition, ‘A Model Archive’.
