The HMRS Photograph Collections
The Society’s large photograph collection is undergoing a major reorganisation leading to the whole catalogue being searchable online. Until this work is completed the former PhotoCAT lists are available for downloading as PDF files. Unfortunately some of these lists may not be fully up to date, for which the Society apologises.
Photos may be purchased based on the old, or the PhotoCAT numbers: click the link to go to the order form.
The information in the files listed below was last updated a considerable time ago and not all of the photos listed are currently available. The files are in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format and are large so may take some time to download.
