To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we filled our jewel-box gallery with 100 staff picks. Get a glimpse into every corner of the Archive through the lens of the 10 teams who steward the collection. Traverse centuries of graphic art, from a cuneiform tablet to contemporary artists’ books, from icons of modernist typography to everyday ephemera. Never before has such a wide range of the Archive’s collection been viewable in one room.
Your guide for this special tour is our Founder and Curator, Rob Saunders.
