| Abstract | Documentary collections of medieval institutions were assembled and conserved using a variety of techniques, which reflected the archival criteria of their period and location. By examining these methods it is possible to hypothesise how an archive and its components were organised and managed. To demonstrate this, the members of the panel analyse three examples. Aránzazu Fernández Quintas postulates a reconstruction of the medieval archive of the monastery of San Clodio do Ribeiro drawing on the dorsal notes existing in the medieval scrolls and the early modern cartulary. Mike Spence examines interconnectivity and dependencies between components of the archive of Fountains Abbey as revealed by marginal glosses, dorsal markings, indexes and tables of contents. Leonor Zozaya-Montes recreates the administrative system of the late-medieval archive of the City of Madrid through an analysis of its Acts Book, Inventory, and Register. |
