“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
In September 1998 I went to New York for a 3-month internship at Franklin Furnace Archive – arranged by email. Although I had one actual letter to confirm this, some friends were doubtful of me going there, asking how I knew if this place was for real, and how could I tell it wasn’t just some bloke in his bedroom - because the organisation had (only) a website as its public face. When I arrived, Franklin Furnace was housed in an office very close to the site of the World Trade Centre, grey archival boxes of various sizes lining the walls, desktop computers, phones that rang - and a history going back to 1976. Working there was Franklin Furnace’s founder, Martha Wilson, and Harley Spiller; Michael Katchen, the archivist; and Alice Wu, Webmistress. And then us interns, who pitched in whenever we could, helping out with whatever needed doing that we fancied.
