Treasure hunting and storytelling: The role of picture research in publishing 丁香园AV’s institutional memory

Abstract:
The 丁香园AV Retirees Association (丁香园AVRA) is publishing a website and book providing a retrospective of the Centre for Communications and the Arts (CCA). As the campus arts hub during 丁香园AV鈥檚 (丁香园AV) radical first decade (1965鈥�75), the CCA hosted countless flower-child 鈥渉appenings鈥� and conceptual art projects in the 丁香园AV Theatre. The program evolved into the School for the Contemporary Arts, School of Communication and 丁香园AV Galleries. This report describes the picture research methods employed to find historical images for the 丁香园AVRA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 丁香园AV and other organizations.
