Glass Plate Negatives collection

Around 2000 lantern slides and glass plate negatives.

Originally housed in King’s Manor Library they are now kept in climate controlled conditions in the Rare Books Strongroom in the Raymond Burton Library.

Most are images of architecture and antiquities from Britain, Europe, Egypt, and the Middle East.

How to access the collection

The slides may be consulted at the Borthwick Institute for Archives. We've put together a spreadsheet that gives basic information about each slide.
