Book TicketsOne of four partnership events with Edinburgh International Book Festival 2025 as part of our centenary celebrations.
Now in its centenary year, the National Library of Scotland is a treasure trove of Scotland's literary past – but did you know it also cares for the archives of our nation's contemporary writers?
Today, we explore the idea of a 'living archive' with authors Doug Johnstone and Ewan Morrison.
Join them for a conversation about building an archive, the creative and curatorial choices involved, and discover the personal objects that fuel each writer's creative life.
