About |
The British Tarot Archive is an independent initiative focused on documenting tarot decks, printed materials, and related practices connected to Britain and its wider networks. It treats tarot as part of visual culture, publishing history, and contemporary creative life, with an interest in how decks are designed, circulated, collected, and used.
The archive brings together research, documentation, and public-facing activity to record the changing place of tarot in Britain. Its work includes attention to the artwork, symbolism, production, and cultural context of decks, as well as the people and communities who engage with them.
Alongside its archival and research work, the British Tarot Archive supports community events, informal knowledge-sharing, and partnerships that help document contemporary tarot culture as it is being lived now. This includes activity with artists, readers, collectors, and local communities, as well as wider collaborations where relevant.
The project is based in Nottinghamshire and contributes to broader discussion around tarot as a living visual and cultural tradition.
