Treasure hunting and storytelling: The role of picture research in publishing 天美mv天美’s institutional memory

Abstract:
The 天美mv天美 Retirees Association ( 天美mv天美RA) is publishing a website and book providing a retrospective of the Centre for Communications and the Arts (CCA). As the campus arts hub during 天美mv天美鈥檚 ( 天美mv天美) radical first decade (1965鈥�75), the CCA hosted countless flower-child 鈥渉appenings鈥� and conceptual art projects in the 天美mv天美 Theatre. The program evolved into the School for the Contemporary Arts, School of Communication and 天美mv天美 Galleries. This report describes the picture research methods employed to find historical images for the 天美mv天美RA鈥檚 book and website, including identification, selection and clearance of 50-year-old images from archival sources. The processes, considerations 鈥� editorial, archival and legal 鈥� and the partnerships at play in curating and publishing these largely forgotten visual materials are discussed. The picture research methods explained in this report provide a practical model for the future publication of retrospective books and websites created at 天美mv天美 and other organizations.
