Heritage Photo Archive & Heritage Image Register

7953 photos

THE HERITAGE PHOTO ARCHIVE (UK) was originally created to display heritage images taken by Heritage Professional Ken Howarth over the last 40 years and forms the basis for the HERITAGE IMAGE REGISTER.

THE HERITAGE IMAGE REGISTER is a Free 'Archive' Service (not for profit) offering the opportunity to individuals, families, heritage groups, local history societies, photographic societies, archives, museums & others to display and promote your heritage images of North West England & North Wales. The idea is to create a Visual Index or Listing of heritage image collections.

HOW TO FIND AN IMAGE! The best way is to use the Website SEARCH BOX. Just type in a word it works like a book index.
NB: When the results page appears be sure to click the 'grey' tab that gives the total number of images found.

IMAGE PURCHASE
Many of the images are available to purchase at reasonable rates, this helps fund the site. Please note however, that some of our contributors whilst they have generously agreed to display their images for educational, local history research and general interest do not (for copyright, legal, ownership & other reasons) wish to them to be copied or available for sale.

Ken Howarth has worked in museums, archives, local history libraries for over 40 years & is a pioneer in the use of heritage record photography, oral history & digital interpretation. His experience ranges from the UN through to local village communities in the UK. He was founder & for many years Director of the NW Sound Archive in the UK. He realised that many heritage photos are held in private collections, and so set up Heritagephotoarchiveuk to:

Preserve those photographs and Collections
Professionally keyword and interpret images
Provide a Location and Listing for Collections not on Search Engines
Encourage heritage recording and train groups and individuals to professional levels

To help fund the website and the Photo Survey work, Ken also offers a wide range of services such as training workshops for community groups, local history, Record and Heritage Photography, Oral History, and Heritage Interpretive videos for You Tube etc.
