SUMMARY:Portrait of a Living Archive

DESCRIPTION:When people think about libraries they tend to think of them 
 as the ancestral home of written rather than visual culture. The John Ry
 lands Library houses a significant collection of art\, from various cult
 ures and a range of historical periods.\n\nSimilarly\, when people think
  of a specialist library like the Rylands they are often unaware that ou
 r collections are constantly growing with new acquisitions and that thes
 e teem with the life of the living alongside the venerable dead. Contemp
 orary poets\, novelists\, artists\, translators\, book-binders and print
 ers appear in our collections and one way to connect with them is throug
 h the medium of photographic portraiture.\n\nOver the past year\, the li
 brary's photographers\, Jamie Robinson and Gwen Jones\, have made a seri
 es of portraits that bring us face to face with some of the people who a
 ppear in our collections. In turn\, these photographs will become part o
 f the Library's collection of images\, adding depth to our knowledge of 
 the people represented in the archive whilst enriching our collection of
  photography.\n\nOpens 6pm\, Thursday\, 3 October
