Extract

The town of High Wycombe is internationally renowned for furniture-making, and Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College holds important photographic material relating to the industry during the 20th century. Funding from the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council is now going to enable the archive collections to be digitised and made accessible via an interactive website. The team undertaking this initiative describes below both the process of the project and the content of the archive, discussing some of the challenges it faces and some of its aspirations for the future.
