Discover Jackie Kay's Archive at the National Library of Scotland
The National Library of Scotland recently acquired the archive of beloved poet (and former Makar), playwright and novelist, Jackie Kay.
Today audiences can enjoy the unique experience of being guided through a selection of material by the writer herself, in this exclusive first look into her archive.
Kay will be joined by National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Curators Dan Sheehy and Colin McIlroy, to discuss the joys and challenges of curation, how it feels to re-encounter work from an earlier version of yourself, and the power and potential offered by literary archives.
