Pictured here is an envelope containing a letter from 1928, written by Judith Cladel, a French author and art historian – the letter is part of a collection of archives that I transcribed and digitized while working as Dr. Margot Irvine’s research assistant. The messages contained within the collection - such as those in Cladel’s agenda as well as letters like this - contain first-hand evidence of her role as curator of the Rodin Museum, highlighting the importance of archival research, especially in relation to historical “facts”.
