The Development of the Costume Study Archive and its Impact on Curriculum   
Jane Havakin, Senior Lecturer in Costume Interpretation with Design at The Northern School of Art, 2023 

Abstract

​

Archives and artifacts can offer a rare opportunity to provide primary sources both for educators, students and other interested people.  With less students visiting museums/ exhibitions post pandemic archives in education have become more relevant today than it has ever been.  

​

Primary sources give students a connection with the past, bridging the gap between often seemingly distant historical phenomena and the present. Costume staff have worked with local archives and attended courses to develop systems to conserve the acquired artifacts, capture the histories and memories as well as the individual qualities they have acquired and improved the access to the archive.

About

PAD (Perspective in Art & Design) is The Northern School of Art’s scholarly activity and research journal; a place for the publication of staff and student academic investigation. Covering issues as diverse as written and practice based research, PAD aims to bring to the fore new ideas, new approaches to existing debates, interpretations on written and visual practice, debates in art and design history, and issues of creative pedagogy. Our goal is to allow scholarly activity to be delivered through equality, where there is no hierarchy between the academic and the student, those with a record of publication, and those who will be shown here for the first time.
