STUART HARRIS-LOGAN is the Keeper of Archives and Collections at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Stuart joined the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2009, and was tasked with creating the institution’s archive from the mess of old store cupboards. What emerged was an impressive collection of materials covering the full span of the Conservatoire’s 175 year history, that has grown and flourished to become the busiest conservatoire archive in the UK, with one of the largest collections of historic musical instruments in the world.
