Abstract
This article considers the archive as a source of inspiration forcreativewriters, specifically focusing on howwritingcan highlight and expose silences within the archive. This is developed through a case study of a collaborativecreativewritingproject at the University for theCreativeArts (UCA), where students developed ‘Fictional Biographies’ from archive research and resources. The article looks at the history ofcreativewritingin the context of archives; the article then focuses on the case study, drawing in theories of archival silences, after which we conclude by reflecting on outputs and learning outcomes of the project.
