The 1,683 slides project

Over many years we have accumulated 35mm slides from various sources, principally from Hilda Holmes, Kate Mason, Arnold Pacey and Don Barrett.

Many of these slides have been scanned and incorporated into the Heritage Group’s collection but there are others that have not been scanned and many were only scanned at low resolution.

Therefore, in 2023, the group decided to get all the 1,683 slides commercially scanned at high resolution and added to the photo archive.

Townhead Mill 1979 on fireThis has become a multi-stage project necessitating sorting through all the files, adding as much information as possible, adding them to the main collection stored ‘in the cloud’, removing duplicates and then copying them to the public archive where needed to ‘tell the story’. This will be done after Heritage Group Members have looked through all 6,000 files on public display and eliminated photos which are not needed.
This project was started in the autumn of 2023 but is unlikely be completed until up to a year later.
