Education archives and school dress...

School archives can collect items that relate to school dress. This could include photographs, drawings or paintings and even patterns associated with school uniforms for students, as well as representations or actual examples of the types of dress worn by school staff. Images of different forms of dress could indicate the ways in which outfits would support the development of a particular type of school image or special school activities.

Classroom equipment...

Education archives can play a vital role in the preservation of our knowledge of teaching and learning equipment. In addition to photographs of these items, education archives can collect actual examples of equipment, as well as advertising literature, sales catalogues, sales dockets or receipts, and manuals that accompanied these items. Archivists could also preserve information from teachers and students about the use of these items.
