An Archive by Edmund de Waal is a book that collects the author's writings and thoughts on archives over more than ten years, presented chronologically. The book itself acts as an archive, exploring de Waal's own family history (starting in Odessa and ending in Paris) and his responses to the archives of poets, artists, and places he cares about. It brings together texts previously out of print, defining and showing different ways an archive can be experienced. Like much of de Waal's work, the book focuses on collecting and collections—how objects are gathered, lost, or scattered. It is part of the Ivorypress Archives series, which aims to make lost or out-of-print material accessible to the public.
