Well this is our moment!
When it's all about moving image, it's almost impossible to pick one thing.
We've decided to showcase our work with musicians and the wonderful results of creative responses to the archive.
Here's the work of Malojian and filmmaker Colm Laverty.

#Archives30 #ArchivesMyths
Everything becomes archive almost instantly. There's no time definition for that and if that was the case, archives would stagnate. So our contemporary collection is really important, as is developing film and oral history skills so everyone can contribute.

#Archives30 #ArchiveConservation

We are a completely digital moving image archive without storage capacity. This is where partnership matters.
When UTV was bought by ITV, the archive was to move to Leeds - a politically and culturally sensitive decision that Stormont moved to prevent.

We have lots of odd films but allowing artists to engage with the archives produces some interesting and unusual results, like this piece by Ulrika Ferm who edited together the end credits from our Northern Ireland Tourist Board film collection.

We invite artists to look at the archive. Poet Stephen Sexton thought about those filmed looking directly into the camera. The resulting poem is stunning and poignant, enhanced by a soundtrack by Ian Livingstone.

#Archives30 and it's #PopularItem day.
Charlie Witherspoon, UTV's longest serving broadcaster, gathered strange & quirky tales such as this very odd ghost story (told by an even odder man).
Our folklore and ghost collection is definitely our most popular!

📚És important establir com s'han de gestionar els documents per facilitar trobar-los, preservar-los i saber com i fins quan és imprescindible la seva conservació, evitant acumular documents de manera innecessària i optimitzar l'ús de l'espai d'emmagatzematge

Last day of #Archives30 ! So #WhyArchives ?

Archives are the raw materials of history, allowing us to look at the past through contemporary eyes & see life in all its unpredictable, messy, joyful, scary variety. They help us challenge narratives, explore hidden histories & connect with being human.
Early 20th century photograph of a large multi-ethnic group of merchant seamen in Cardiff. Many of them are looking up at the camera, raising one hand. Image of an objection about low minimum wages made by Miss J. Kitts of Devonport in 1912: STRICTLY PRIVATE and CONFIDENTIAL for use of Members of the Trade Board only. OBJECTION received from:- Miss J. Kitts, 9, Wilton Street, Stoke, Devonport. File 11-3. 8th April, 1912. Sir, In the receipt of the notice, I am surprised to think It has come a farthing less, instead of a farthing more. I would like for the employer to stand by a worker for an hour and see the amount of work a worker has to do in a garment in an hour to earn that, and then judge to see if she does not deserve the higher rate. I for one can speak from experience of 22 years in the Wholesale clothing trade and know what hard work means to be able to get just a living wage. I started at the age of thirteen getting half crown for the first six months, 3/- the next six months after that I was put under a machinist to learn Trousers and Boys’ knickers getting a third of what a machinist earned my wages averaged eight shillings a week in the busiest time and where no trade, go home. For four years I was a learner until there was a vacancy of a machine for me to go on. I was able then to earn good money for a few years until they started cutting down the prices owing to foreign competition, we were told, so we had to submit as it was our living, at last it was getting so bad, I had to leave as I had my widow mother to help support, this last five years and half and I could not afford to work for little. Postcard which shows two uniformed figures standing and holding the arms of a protestor who is slumped on the ground. It includes the text "No people that holds dear its freedom of thought, speech, and assembly will submit to the suppression of these rights under a tattoo of nightstick blows or horses' hoofs! I emphatically protest the savage sentences imposed upon eighteen Anti-Nazi workers and students for peacefully demonstrating against the presence of the Hitler propaganda ship, the "Karlsruhe," in Boston Harbor. I urge the dropping of all charges and the immediate, unconditional release of all eighteen defendants." Late 1920s or early 1920s photograph of two women. One (Eileen Younghusband) is wearing a white dress and sitting down. The other (identity currently unknown) is standing behind her and resting one hand on the back of the chair, she is wearing a top hat, bow tie, waistcoat and frock coat.

The last day of #Archives30 is #WhyArchives? They give us a tangible link to the people of the past which shows we're really not that different: which parent doesn't still write very clearly and carefully so their child can read that they love them?

Our #PopularItem is C18th-19th Sun Fire Office policy registers! Fire was a real threat to property so many took out insurance against it. They weren't just insuring buildings either, here's a 1793 policy for Gilbert Pidcock who has insured a rhino. Yes, you read that correctly... 🦏 📖 #archives30
Photo of policy number 614342 from a Sun Fire Office policy register. The date of the policy, 23 April 1793, is at the top. The policy reads 'Gilbert Pidcock at the Exhibition Room over Exeter Change in the Strand. On a Rhinoceros & Carriage for the same travelling about the country for exhibition not exceeding two hundred pounds'.
