Image of the Month

From October 2009, the Archives Centre staff will be selecting an image from the archives each month. This may be from a collection we're working on at the time, a document which has just come in, an image which is particularly relevant now, or simply something which happened to catch the eye of one of our staff. Watch this space over the coming months, as this selection of our favourite images grows!

Simply click on the thumbnails to view the documents.
