Creators/Authors:	Douglas, Caroline
Abstract:	This presentation will reposition Mary Somerville (1780-1872) as a protophotographer and pioneer of colour photography. Using archival correspondence, published work and experiments, it will move across photography, writing and creative archival research processes to work cross- historically, re-touching the archive, to recover and repair a marginalised history.
