The online galleries are in the process of being updated for October 2009


Overview

To date, we have catalogued around 30,000 images from our Western Morning News collection in chronological order.

The WMN collection covers an exhaustive range of research subjects. We have selected some of the images from the collection which can be accessed via the 'Subject' Albums listed below.

We offer a research service for those looking for specific images from this collection (see our Search Enquiries section at the end of this page for details). The catalogue database can also be consulted via the public access terminal within our on-site search room facility.


During the latter part of 2009 we will be looking to add a series of 'Collection' Albums to our online galleries page, providing public access to the images from our other individual collections and anticipated deposits. At SWiB, we believe this is the best way to exhibit our images and to provide general access to the wide-range of material available.

We are also able to supply individual collection DVD's of the full range of images within our individual collections for review upon request.
