The physical records of Arnolfini's history were moved to the Bristol Record's Office in December 2006, where they are being sorted and weeded for the first time in preparation for cataloguing. It is hoped that much of this work will be complete by 2011 when Arnolfini will celebrate its 50th anniversary, and that the majority of these records will be available for viewing in the Search Room of the Bristol Record Office from this time.
Work has begun towards making much of the digital assets from Arnolfini’s extensive archives available on-line. To achieve this Arnolfini is teaming up with
A Database, a pioneering open-source research engine and digital archive for contemporary visual culture.
Archived: New British Sculpture - Bristol 1968
In May 1968, Arnolfini pioneered its own small revolution by taking an exhibition of sculpture out of the gallery and on to Bristol’s streets for the first time. Forty years on, a selection of archive material relating to this show, New British Sculpture, including press cuttings, photographs and poetry will be on display in the Reading Room (level 2) from 3 June - 31 August.
