The Peter Roberts Collection
Now too large to catalogue, the collection contains tens of thousands of historic prints and transparencies. Most have been issued by the manufacturers' press offices in the days when these were the only means of sharing archive images. Nowadays there is a small amount available on the internet, and new material is often sent out as colour prints, or on CD.
What will happen to this precious material in years to come, when the colour in the prints has faded, and the CDs have died, we don't know.
Please note that these images are only available for editorial use in books, magazines or newspapers.
