Living on the Edge: Records of Suburbia.

The Annual Conference of the British Records Association (BRA).

Admired, taken for granted, dismissed - the suburbs provoke diverse reactions. This one day conference will explore the way in which the history of the suburbs, and those living in them, can be traced through our documentary heritage.
