John Murray ArchiveNational Library of Scotland, Edinburgh Fraser Randall was appointed by the National Library of Scotland to act as the Construction Manager for the John Murray Archive exhibition which is housed in the National Library of Scotland. Edinburgh-born publisher John Murray started the collection when he set up his business in London in the late 18th Century. The Archive is thought to be one of the world's most significant literary and cultural archives from the past 250 years. With more than 150,000 items, it contains letters, manuscripts and journals from some of the greatest writers, politicians and scientists from 1768 to 1920. The exhibition was designed in order that the original objects be interpreted through ‘conversations’ the visitor has with each character using lighting and AV interfaces. There is also provision to rotate the collection to ensure rigorous conservation standards are achieved and more of the collection can be displayed to the public.
