Planned timetable:
This module will explore, interpret and analyse photographic materials in the University of St Andrews Special Collections. The collection holds a fascinating range of 19th and 20th century photographic works including some of the most prized treasures in the photographic canon; this includes work by Hill & Adamson, Sir David Brewster, and William Henry Fox Talbot, as well as contemporary photography. The module is, therefore, object-based and will familiarise students with the special properties of archival resources, their study, maintenance and display. Given the practical dimensions of this module students will be expected to spend time in the archive of self-directed study. This study will be facilitated and guided by academic and library staff where appropriate.
