Last week the State Records Office of WA launched Eating the Archives. Some of you might be asking ‘Why Eating the Archives?’ Those of us who work with the State archives collection, WA’s largest archival collection, know that there are many unexpected stories to be found in the State’s archives. The staging of State occasions, such as State Dinners, Luncheons, Balls, Garden Parties and the like, is revealed in great detail in the State archives.

Today we have launched our new online exhibition and event – Eating the Archives!
The new website starts with an “appetiser"– a small collection of food-related stories from our collection, as well as video of chef Hadleigh Troy beginning his research to reinterpret historic menus to develop a modern, fresh banquet for the event which will be held in the Cultural Centre on 28th October 2011.
