INTRODUCING THIS WEEK’S BLOG – 7TH OF NOVEMBER 2014

Welcome Back!

All of us here at Drawing From the Archives hope our readers enjoyed the Halloween festivities of last weekend! We’re back today with our second round of blog posts, again focusing on six individual cities; some closer to home than others. The theme we’re working with this week is photography. Our goal is to bring your attention to the qualities, conditions and experiences of living in cities of the 19^th and early 20^th centuries. We’ve chosen a diverse set of themes for this week’s blog posts, we hope you enjoy stepping back in time with us discovering the cities of the past.

Before we let you explore the latest additions, can we firstly applaud the amateur and professional photographers whose works we will be using in our blogs this week. We admire their tenacity and devotion to charting the life of a changing city, chronicling minor to major events, places, people, objects etc.

One last thing, in case you missed it, we also added some ePubs of our blogs earlier this week. Please keep an eye on our Twitter page for updates and hints about cities being discussed in our next blog due November 28th.

 As the saying goes curiosity killed the cat…but satisfaction brought it back.

On that note we hope you all enjoy this week’s entries and please don’t hesitate to comment below or contact us.

Aoife, Jennifer, Katie O, Donna, Katie M and Pierre.

To start off this week’s blog Donna will be examining our first case study city; New York City.

Introducing this week’s blog – 17th of October 2014

Welcome back!

The anticipation is over (cue; you can all take a deep breath now) . . . our first blog is live and ready to go!! Just like we promised this week’s blogs are filled with interest and appeal, we know you all can’t wait to start scrolling that track pad! Before you all become wrapped up in our blog entries; we just want to include a small few words to introduce this week’s blog. This week, we have decided to focus on six individual case study cities with special regard to the cities’ maps both past and present. We plan to discover both a range of comparisons and contrasts between all of these cities on their journeys towards regeneration and reinvention.
