Gary Brannan, the archivist helping people access history - 101 Jobs That Change the World (Ep 13)
Taking care of historical collections comes with a lot of responsibility - not just preserving them for future generations, but making sure they're available to people in the here and now.
Meet Gary Brannan. As Keeper of Archives and Special Collections at the Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York, he's part of a team caring for a vast collection of historical material. The oldest document in his care dates back to the 11th Century, and more is being added all the time.

YorkTalks 2021: Time travel for beginners
Gary Brannan (Keeper of Archives and Special Collections, Borthwick Institute for Archives) delivers 2021 virtual YorkTalk, ‘Time travel for beginners’, in January 2021.

A Reading Man
A Black British man reflects on his experiences of migration from the Caribbean.
In 1948, as the 'English Life and Leisure' project was in full swing, the Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury docks on the River Thames. Seebohm Rowntree’s study didn’t identify any interviewees of colour, but there was an important Black and Asian presence in England both before and after WWII. 'A Reading Man' is based on the true stories of some of those people from the Caribbean who made their lives in Yorkshire from the mid-twentieth century onwards, imagining what they might have said.

Taking care of historical collections comes with a lot of responsibility - not just preserving them for future generations, but making sure they're available to people in the here and now.
Meet Gary Brannan. As Keeper of Archives and Special Collections at the Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York, he's part of a team caring for a vast collection of historical material. The oldest document in his care dates back to the 11th Century, and more is being added all the time.
A major part of Gary Brannan's work is helping people access the archive's collections: from senior international researchers working on a major book about history, to York undergrads preparing an essay, or even locals researching their family. Whatever they need - remote digital access, or help interpreting an old text - Gary is there to help.
"There's nothing nicer when you find that something that you've brought in or cared for or provided access to, or your team has provided access to has informed major works," says Gary. "I think that's brilliant."

In these videos you’ll meet the people who work – often behind the scenes – in a wide variety of fulfilling and interesting roles beyond the traditional image of a scientist, researcher or innovator.
Our 101 Jobs series offer a glimpse into the lives of the varied people who are working across the research and innovation system, some in remote or unusual locations. Their jobs are essential to the creative, dynamic research and innovation system we need to tackle huge challenges like Covid-19, climate change, how we’ll live and work in the future – and they really do change the world.

Featuring evocative clips from the Yorkshire Film Archive, together with contributions from Dr Sally-Anne Shearn (Collections Information Archivist at the Borthwick Institute for Archives) and Dr Catherine Oakley (Executive Director of The Rowntree Society).
--
This film is part of a series of nine innovative digital performances created by the writer and director Rachel Feldberg for the project ‘Bringing the Rowntree Leisure Interviews to Life’. The films are inspired by the real-life interviews with ordinary people in post-war Britain which formed the raw material for Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree’s study of 'English Life and Leisure' (1951).
The performances draw on a unique collection held in the Rowntree Archives at the Borthwick Institute for Archives, University of York, which documents people’s working experiences, their religious and political beliefs, and their sexual relationships and leisure activities.
‘Bringing the Rowntree Leisure Interviews to Life’ is a collaborative project led by Rachel Feldberg in partnership with Borthwick Institute, The Rowntree Society, and the Department of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of York. It is supported by funding from the university’s Jane Moody Scholarship at the Humanities Research Centre.

This film is part of a series of nine innovative digital performances created by the writer and director Rachel Feldberg for the project ‘Bringing the Rowntree Leisure Interviews to Life’. The films are inspired by the real-life interviews with ordinary people in post-war Britain which formed the raw material for Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree’s study of 'English Life and Leisure' (1951).
The performances draw on a unique collection held in the Rowntree Archives at the Borthwick Institute for Archives, University of York, which documents people’s working experiences, their religious and political beliefs, and their sexual relationships and leisure activities.
‘Bringing the Rowntree Leisure Interviews to Life’ is a collaborative project led by Rachel Feldberg in partnership with Borthwick Institute, The Rowntree Society, and the Department of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of York. It is supported by funding from the university’s Jane Moody Scholarship at the Humanities Research Centre.

A Black British man reflects on his experiences of migration from the Caribbean.
In 1948, as the 'English Life and Leisure' project was in full swing, the Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury docks on the River Thames. Seebohm Rowntree’s study didn’t identify any interviewees of colour, but there was an important Black and Asian presence in England both before and after WWII. 'A Reading Man' is based on the true stories of some of those people from the Caribbean who made their lives in Yorkshire from the mid-twentieth century onwards, imagining what they might have said.
