The Hierarchy
The structure of an archive catalogue is hierarchical. This structure operates in much the same way as the folders stored on a computer, where a folder may contain one or more associated folders and files. Here the folders represent groups of records called series.
The main series are:
JBF/1 Sketches, maquettes and writings, 1965-2009
JBF/2 Diaries, 1976-2006
JBF/3 Photographic material, c.1920-2009
JBF/4 Audio visual material, 1982-2009
JBF/5 Press and printed material, 1966-2009
JBF/6 Operational papers, 1959-2009
JBF/7 Other interests and research, 1964-2008
The Index
The INDEX is a list of all the files contained within the archive catalogue. They are identical to those in the hierarchy but arranged as an alphabetised list.
Our physical archive is comprised of 160 boxes of sketchbooks, diaries, correspondence, writings, photographs and casting records that span the whole of Flanagan’s career from the late 1950s to 2009. Our online archive offers access to this catalogue of records, with 2,500 scanned documents available to view. However for various reasons not all our records are available online.
