Visual Resources Centre at MMU

I had a spare 10 minutes on Wednesday and popped in the slide library for  a rummage.
Found some amazing things..a picture of the Popes Train in the 1800s was a particular favourite.
but these are my two slides of the week.

With A big thank you to John Davis from the VRC at MMU for the photographs

Archives of all manners and types. (MMU Visual Resources Centre)

We have a wonderful archive at MMU called "The Visual Resources Centre" , better known to us old hands as The Slide Library....once upon a time it was the place to go to sort out the visuals for your lecture..now it is a place of wonder and a place you can rummage, as each sheet of 24 slides can be put on the light box..and 1000s of images to look through..many of  them objects. Each sheet is like opening a draw...surprising and never boring.
I chose the slides below for an exhibition run by M.A students, recently shown on the 5th floor of Chatham. These slides were part of an exhibition of design in plastic.
