PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE

A unique collection of historic and modern photographs, negatives, glass plates, slides and rare archive material. Real people. Real places. Our history in pictures.

HOW WE BUILT A REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE

Historic Films has built its huge photography archive over many years by filming, collecting, preserving and acquiring original photographs, negatives, glass plates, slides and related material.

Our collection spans a wide range of historic and modern subjects, capturing people, places, traditions and everyday life.

It is now being digitally enhanced so it can be enjoyed by future generations.
