Dear Colleagues
I went on a very interesting visit yesterday to the Westminister Archives and the V & A's Art and Design Archive at Blythe House.
The Westminister Centre holds archives for Liberty & Co. and Jaegar. I saw some really wonderful advertising materials. They do have a searchable online catalogue with many digital images and would welcome visits from our students.

Blythe House holds the V & A's Art and Design Archive. I was able to view material from Heals, the Ideal Home Exhibition, and Presage, a fashion forecasting service established in 1961.

I will be mentioning these fine resources to our students during inductions etc.
