Chronologically too the subject coverage of the Collection is extensive, ranging from antiquity to the present. In addition to the work of acknowledged photographic masters such as Francis Bedford and Tony Ray-Jones and architectural photographers like Dell and Wainwright and Eric de Mar , the Collection also holds the archives of several of the foremost architectural photographers of the 20th century, among them John Maltby, Colin Westwood, Henk Snoek, and Alastair Hunter. Images are held in a wide range of formats - negatives, prints, 5x4 and 35mm colour transparencies. Viewing Photographs All photographs in the Collection can be viewed by prior appointment. The fragile nature of many of the photographs means, that with the exception of colour transparencies, no browsing is permitted.
Material is fetched from store and made available to users on arrival.
The Collection operates a free enquiry service answering questions from all over the world about its holdings and whether we can supply images of particular buildings, subjects, or work by particular architects etc, either for private use or reproduction. If we have not got the image you want we may be able to suggest alternative sources. Enquiries are welcomed whether they be by post, phone, fax, e-mail or in person. Copying Service Subject to the laws of copyright, the Collection can provide copies of any of its images for private study or, subject to reproduction fees, publication. Copies are normally ready within 10 days but 24 hour and three day express services are also available.
