Archive
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.
Documentation from the series of archive workshops entitled Rethinking Archives: History, Media, Memory, produced in partnership with the University of the West of England, can now be downloaded from http://archives.uwe-bristol.net
The workshops were grouped the themes of Memory and Oral History, Digital Media, Time and the Artwork, and Repetition and Reconstruction, and included presentations from artists Stuart Brisley, Jem Finer and Rod Dickinson.
Past Projects
From here you are able to search Arnolfini's web pages from January 2005 for information about Arnolfini's past programme.
Arnolfini changed the design of its website in May 2008. Prior to this the website was divided into three columns. Only the middle column contains live content. You can therefore search for more information on past events by clicking on specific links in the middle column. Please note that the first column on the left hand side, entitled What's On at Arnolfini will always remain the same, showing the last page that was written in April 2008 before Arnolfini's website moved over to its new design.
As these web pages are no longer current, some of the links may now be broken, and other pages may no longer be available. If you require more information about a particular event or exhibition please contact Arnolfini's archivist, julian.warren@arnolfini.org.uk.
