Stephen Johnson
In this ‘Gatherings Roadshow’ presentation from October 2022, Stephen Johnson explores an archive that once belonged to his father: a collection of over one-hundred and seventy 78 RPM records—each pressed between 1910 and the 1930s. Through cataloguing the collection, tracing its history, and connecting with LP archivists and enthusiasts, Stephen examines the value of material items and invites the question: what do we hold on to, and why?
