Corinne was a 4th year photography student at the Edinburgh College of Art in 2014 and involved in a project looking at the need for libraries, human interactions with objects and behind the scenes views. She visited RBGE on the 20th March 2014 to take photographs, 3 of which ended up in the project publication, Ordo Librorum.
