Local and Naval Studies Library: cataloguing and scanning of images

Plymouth City Council’s Local and Naval Studies Library (located in the Central Library at Drake’s Circus) holds an important collection of over 10,000 Plymouth-related images. This includes photographs, postcards, lithographs and reproductions of works of art. Descriptions of the images will be input into our CALM cataloguing software and these, together with the scanned images will be made available in our online catalogue.

As with our Western Morning News project, volunteers will play a major role in delivering this work.

Once the digital copies are created, the original images will be held at the Record Office to assist with their preservation.

You can browse the images using our online catalogue.
