Over 5000 of these are now available on our computerised database, which makes it much easier to view them.
Visitors can now call up images quickly, using the computerised keyword index.
As well as bringing increased speed and efficiency in accessing the photographs, there are important conservation benefits as well. Wear and tear on old and delicate originals can now be avoided by viewing the images on screen and ordering prints. We are happy to accept the loan of photographs for scanning onto the database to add to our collections. We are looking for photographs particularly of the areas just outside Chester as we hold fewer of these. Please contact us if you can help.
