During my visit to Lee Mills, we started having a
brief introduction and discussion about what each of us wanted to look into at
the archive; we talked about taking part in writing an article to either
Selvedge or Slipknot and we also had a tour of the actual archive. It was very
exciting to see how much archival material they had collected over the years.
The vast amount of material here is astonishing by how some of it dates back to
the First World War right up to the present day. You can actual see the timeline
throughout this archive. We then learnt how to archive booklets/leaflets form
different time periods. I really enjoyed archiving as I found it very clam and
relaxing but it was amazing to see what these pattern booklets looked like and
how fashion kept growing and updating itself in these time periods.
