The Demarco Digital Archive is an online, non-profit making, publicly-funded educational research resource of approximately 10,000 records from the archives of Richard Demarco, predominantly photographs plus documents, publications and other printed material.
The digital archive documents Richard Demarco's passion for the arts and dialogue at all levels, from the local to the international, school to art school and university, community arts projects to the Venice Biennale. Throughout he used the camera to document exhibitions, performances, conferences, journeys, meetings, and events of all kinds, of which he was most often instigator and active participant.
