The educational archive and material culture…


Records of furniture for educational institutions…

Archivists engaged in work for educational institutions will be confronted with questions related to the “look” of physical areas used for teaching and learning activities. Examples of original furniture in these areas may have been preserved, or archivists may be required to preserve existing stores of two-dimensional images of furniture, such as design drawings, as well as sketches and paintings or photographs. Archivists may also need to collect written or oral history records that describe the ways in which furniture was used by teachers and students.
