Artifactual is a podcast about archival material -- who made it, who saved it, and why. It was inspired by the documentary work we do at 1895 Films, where we often come across amazing pieces of archival material (tapes, maps, letters, etc.). But we don't always have the space to tell the stories behind this archival material in the documentaries themselves. And so, Artifactual was born...

    The Snowdon Tapes: Interviews from a Royal Biography

    When writer Anne de Courcy placed a tape recorder in front of Antony Armstrong-Jones—formally known as Lord Snowdon—she had no idea what kind of material she’d get. But she was determined to write the first proper biography of the eccentric photographer who married Princess Margaret in 1960. By the time she was done with her book Snowdon: the Biography, she had more than 90 taped interviews with friends and family in the circle of the House of Windsor—which she put in a plastic bag and shoved into a closet for over a decade. You can learn more about Anne de Courcy and her work here. For more information on this episode and more Artifactual podcast content, visit artifactualpodcast.com.

You can find more information about the history of the Sanborn collection at Cal State Northridge here.
