Into the archive: A cultural history through the Yorke collection

Hill, Hamish D. (2018) Into the archive: A cultural history through the Yorke collection. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis provides a revised understanding of cultural heritage through the application of archival methodologies to a personal archive. The archive, a collection of popular music ephemera amassed by Brisbane music journalist Ritchie Yorke, is used to demonstrate how archival material can articulate key historical events. Two events are looked at in depth, specifically John Lennon and Yoko Ono's War Is Over! peace campaign and the Maple Music Junket. Through the use of archival methods a more nuanced history of popular music and its cultural significance is presented.
