Physical Archive

BTB holds a small but developing physical archive of objects and written material relating to our programme delivery to date, along with items connected to the textile industry in Lancashire donated by local people as part of engagement work.

Items held in the archive are available to view by the general public, researchers and partners by appointment only at our base in Blackburn. To find out more about our physical archive or to arrange a visit, please email hello@britishtextilebiennial.co.uk in the first instance.

Our digital archive also contains a wider range of images, films and recorded content relating to past programmes. For all enquiries relating to digital archive materials please contact jack@britishtextilebiennial.co.uk
