Marshall’s archive is no more than two cardboard boxes of research files and a handful of DVDs they include production files, reading notes, funding applications, press cuts, cards, flyers and bank statements. 1 This room is the archive, a particular archive: the files on composer, artist, film-maker, writer, teacher and activist Stuart Marshall, available for consultation at the British Artists’ Film & Video Study Collection at Central Saint Martins in London. I am sitting in a room that inhibits sound but encourages touch.
