As part of the programme of digitisation of the Library and Archive collections the box files within our photograph collection for "Places" will be unavailable for public access. Temporary withdrawal of these resources will enable improved public access to these important records of the island’s heritage. Please note that our other smaller collections such as the Frowde series, boxes on internment, transport, schools, industries & crafts plus our collection of prints are not being digitised at this time and will be available. Thank you for your understanding.
