The Coffin Works collection
The Coffin Works Archive brings together the diverse parts of the Newman Brothers’ Collection, which until now have remained unconnected. Although by no means comprehensive, this archive features a selection of the key objects in the collection and brings them together on one platform for the first time, to finally allow them to begin ‘communicating’ with each other. The archive is a work in progress and will continue to grow as more information is recorded and more objects are documented.
