"Papers, Please."

Just found a blog post that contains a story about a Blythe House visit. Posting it here so people can use it for their own characters. Would've included some of this in my sticky if I hadn't just updated it: "Now, watching a recording at Blythe House is more like visiting a friend who has been sectioned -- as imagined in films. Not a light and airy place like the NT archive, with its human-sized rooms full of books and boxes everywhere, humming with quiet activity on every level; Blythe House is a monstrously big building surrounded by an ornamental fence with slightly less ornamental barbed wire on top. ![]() On entering, the visitor is led through turnstiles and along endless, empty corridors that are tiled in an unwholesome shade of yellow right up to the ceiling, to end up in the reading room. Here are a few workstations, reference books, a card catalogue (covering all printed material acquired before 1999; acquisitions after that date can be found here), a tray of blue order slips (with a list of retrieval times) and barred windows above head height. Welcome to Blythe House, originally built as the headquarters of the Post Office Savings Bank at the end of the nineteenth century; now shared by the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum and the British Museum as a repository for their reserve collections. A fortress where thousands of wonderful, precious and intriguing objects are stored -- amongst them the collection of what used to be the Theatre Museum. The visitor, however, gets no sense of these treasures, only of the measures to (rightly, of course) protect them and possibly of his or her own unworthiness to even be in the same building. But that’s probably just me." |
