SWiB News in Brief

February 2010

OUTREACH NEWS

We have submitted the second batch of images for the Big Screen, Plymouth. Further batches are planned.

We have received funding from the Cooperative to undertake an exhibition project for their Anniversary Congress this year. Images will be reproduced from the Cooperative Society Collection at SWiB with assistance from our friends at Bretonside Copy. Further details will appear here soon.

UPDATES TO ONLINE GALLERIES

Visit our online galleries page for access to over 3500 images from our completed collections (further collections to follow monthly).

Following public demand, we are currently working with an IT consultant to allow for image based searches to be undertaken from the SWiB website. This will allow online visitors to search for specific images in addition to browsing all our collection based galleries.
