Elvis Scrapbooks


Last year I bought 4 scrapbooks chock-a-block with magazine and newspaper cuttings of Elvis and I became fascinated at the idea of someone holding onto something for so long and then just deciding one day to let them go at a carboot sale for £2.50.
So, a plan developed to 're-archive' some of the images.
The post above has a link to Flickr for some if the photos I've taken from the scrapbooks - please feel free to get involved in the re-archive by using any of these photos as your starting point for your own representation of Elvis and email an image to me: melbrown@plymouthart.ac.uk (please could you save as a jpeg and include your name in the file name)
I'll post the best here, on the 'not my archive' blog, and we'll be having a display of work in College (Plymouth College of Art) in March

Not My Archive...
