Lending Library

As part of a placement with University of Manchester, Natalie Horsham joined the Heart of Glass team from January to May 2024. Within this placement, Natalie supported the development of Heart of Glass’ burgeoning Lending Library, undertook editorial work through reading and analysing essays written by Heart of Glass collaborators and created a series of learning resources (i.e. an inventory, a staff guide and a critical review of archival articles).

This guide, the first in a series for HoG’s Lending Library, is intended to guide readers (staff, artists and collaborators) through the growing library. It is informed by Natalie’s work to create an inventory for the collection of texts and books owned by Heart of Glass, and features her journey working with us. Natalie invites you to lend yourself to thoughts, themes and ideas already entwined within our Lending Library.
