The collection contains a variety of photographic material, from silver plates and glass negatives to the digital images of today. In addition, the Image Library contains prints, watercolours and drawings that for the most part are of folk dress, portraits and landscapes. Most of the images can be accessed through the museum’s digital catalogue. Both amateur and professional photographers are represented in the collections.
