Being a museum of science and industry, the objects in the archives tend to be industrial science objects. These can range from large scale machinery to small scale swatches of fabric. There are also such things as marketing and trade literature which show the way that art movements changed even the most mundane advertising, and shipping tickets. I don't know how useful this is going to be in the project, but it is still interesting. I like the idea of taking inspiration from the past. What I did learn form the advertising material was that it was always intrinsically linked to the time it was produced, the colours that were fashionable and the ethos and culture that was surrounding them.
