From The Red House

Archive Fever

Episode Summary

For this episode, drop in on a chat between two Red House colleagues: Drs Lucy Walker (Head, Public Engagement) and Chris Hilton (Head of Archive and Library).

Episode Notes

Find out about the fascinating and diverse Red House collections, the human stories they contain, how we talk about them (in person and in lockdown), and what makes archivists' blood pressure rise. Conversational byways lead to Magnus Pyke, roller-skates, the history of shopping, and the Windmill Theatre, as well as unusual places to store archives. Just don't call them 'dusty'. And as usual, find out what music our speakers have been listening to lately in our increasingly eclectic playlist.
