Did any colleagues hear the Radio 4 programme on Tuesday 'Making History'?
Sue Cook visited the Aerofilms Photographic Library in Boreham Wood,
Hertfordshire. The library is apparently set to close in June and the
collection put into storage. There are doubts as to whether the public will
still have access to the collection.
The links below give some history about the collection - it is very wide
ranging covering the British Isles as well as a host of other countries and
so has an international flavour.
I have not contacted the company myself but will do so if colleagues feel
there would be some mileage in doing so - Hertfordshire Archives may not be
the best location for the collection in the long term. Does anyone know if
any approaches have been made already to discuss the future of the
collection? The links below give more information.
Please get in touch with me off line if more privacy is needed.
