Leeds Museums & Galleries and the Henry Moore Institute Archive are proud to make the notebooks of Helen Chadwick available online as three dimensional virtual books.

Researchers now have online access to the notes and ideas and critical practice of an influential and controversial artist. Eight notebooks are now available and condense her research from her time as a student at Brighton Polytechnic during the early 1970s. They contain detailed notes, sketches and ideas providing a fascinating insight to her early work. Further notebooks tracing the development of her work will be added to the resource.

Turning the Pages^TM 2.0 will allow you magnify the book, rotate the book and also click on the ‘read' button to access a text panel of information about the notebook.

The computer you are using may not allow you to view the notebooks. You will therefore need to add the facility to view them to your computer, which is simple to download and free of charge. There are two versions for you to try, the ‘Silverlight' version, which will run on most computers and the ‘Xbap' version, for higher specification computers. If at first, the notebook does not load, you will be prompted to add an application to your computer. When using your own computer you will automatically have the authority to add ‘Silverlight' or ‘Xbap' by following the onscreen prompts. If it is not your own computer you may need to ask permission from the owner or administrator of the computer to add the software and give you access to the books.
