In the 2023-24 academic year DMU Special Collections partnered with MA Creative Writing students to co-create an anthology of creative work inspired by the materials in our archive. Fonds included 19 submissions in Prose, Poetry and Word & Image categories, with an Editors' Choice winner in each category. Submissions were inspired by a wide range of pieces in the archive, including the artworks of Tracy Kelly and Andrew Logan, newspaper reports about airships and film stars, books about birds and botany, scientific equipment and Victorian photographs.
