At Manchester Archives and Local Studies, we have almost completed an HLF-funded project to increase the size of our digital image collection from 10,000 to 77,000; at present, around 74,000 images can be viewed by our visitors. The images are mainly photographs but also drawings, paintings, watercolours etc. The system we use can also incorporate maps but we have not taken this up yet. The software is supplied by House of Images, 1 Towers Court, Duckworth Street, Blackburn, Lancashire BB2 2JQ, and is in use in a variety of other locations eg Chester, Sheffield, Kirklees, Trafford.
