talking archives
'Archival traces and fragments intrigue me - so many lives
attached by such slender threads from the past to the future.
Researching historical facts is only part of an archival process.
The role our imaginations play in restructuring the past can be of
equal importance.'
Kyra
Clegg Artist in Residence Perth &
Kinross Council Archives, 2009-2010
Conversations with Archive staff form part of Kyra Clegg's

records. As narrative to a visual taste of the Archive's
collections, the videos help examine themes of memory, protection
and interpretation.
