Well, by an entirely unexpected and rather random set of online social media coincidences, I've now found out the identity of these two... I'm in touch with the brother of one, and hoping to make contact with the two themselves. It's a small world!
"Unemployed youths on Right to Work march, Trafalgar Square 1981". 38 years on...where are they now? #RaissaPage
To mark the 40th anniversary of the 1984/85 Miners' Strike, we've been working with colleagues @swminerslibrary on a brand new library guide to showcase material held across our collections relating to the Strike. Find out more via libguides.swansea.ac.uk/c.php?g=666151…
Please note that our online catalogue is currently unavailable due to ongoing IT maintenance. However details of many of our collections can be found via libguides.swansea.ac.uk/richardburtona… and can be searched via archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk Or contact [email protected] for assistance.
I've not watched this yet - will remedy that later - but apparently this features Raissa's work, as well as making extensive use of other significant collections held at @SwanUniArchives and @swminerslibrary. Do check it out.
Catch up now on @BBCiPlayer 'Strike! The Women Who Fought Back'. Featuring a wonderful selection of photographs and video footage from the South Wales Coalfield Collection bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… @swminerslibrary
Portraits of the newly elected @HackneyAbbott taken by Raissa Page in August 1987.
Raissa's Format colleague, the amazing Val Wilmer is on Desert Island Discs tomorrow. There will, I'm sure be Blues! Can't wait to hear this. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Happy #NationalPieDay! Queueing for bargains at the @GreggsOfficial seconds shop in Newcastle, 1978. One of many brilliant images of UK society in the @RaissaPage collection libguides.swansea.ac.uk/c.php?g=666151… Pie-ning to know more? Check out this clip @BBCArchive bbc.co.uk/archive/greggs…
Here's the direct link to the exhibition barbican.org.uk/our-story/pres…
Significant contribution from Raissa's Format colleagues, Maggie Murray and Brenda Prince to this exhibition (and piece in the Guardian) theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…
There have been some times when I've doubted if this would ever come to pass, but I'm pleased to say that we have recently been looking at drafts of the book. Watch out for more details, but you wont have too long to wait now... COMING SOON!
Still one of my favourite of Raissa's images. If you want to sing along, here's what they're singing..."Here we go, here we go for the women of the working class..." #InternationalWomensDay youtube.com/watch?v=lGOEAt…
Maybe this is what empowerment looks and feels like...read my retired colleague, archivist Sue Thomas, on this wonderful post-strike image of the WAPC which Raissa took in '85 . #InternationalWomensDay @CoalfieldWomen @Miners_Strike raissapagecollection.wordpress.com/portfolio/here…
RIP Carmen Callil
Another very closely related image from this shoot is in the permanent collection of @NPGLondon (see link). Here are Margaret Owen, Dame Carmen Callil, and Harriet Spicer of @ViragoBooks taken by #RaissaPage in the early 1980s npg.org.uk/collections/se…
#OnThisDay 1985. The National Conference of Women Against Pit Closures is held in Sheffield. Photo Credit: @RaissaPage
RIP Bruce
Found this copy of @CNDuk magazine Sanity (Jun '85) with a #RaissaPage cover shot of Bruce Kent. The rear advertises that year's @GlastoFest (which was, coincidentally, my first). The @bankofengland inflation calculator tells me £16 in 1985 was worth £47.62 last year. Hmmmm...
#Archive30 Day 7 – These @RaissaPage photographs contain an #UnusualItem or two, in the creations of manikin maker (‘manikins are used to help simulate medical, surgical, or clinical scenarios’ engeniumstaffing.com/blog/files/Wha…)
“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” - Maya Angelou Here's one of Raissa's photographs of Maya, taken in 1987. #IWD2022 #InternationalWomensDay
