David Watkin – Oscar-winning Cinematographer and avid collector of books and music – intended his personal papers and miscellany to be archived after his death, entrusting friends to help with this task. There were a few hurdles to clear, not least the immeasurably upsetting loss of most of the archive, along with the destruction of the remaining stock of his second autobiography ‘Was Clara Schumann a Fag Hag?’ In light of these set-backs, this online archive continues to grow.
If you can contribute any further stories, anecdotes or records of David Watkin’s life and talent, the editors would be thrilled to hear from you.
