Following the cyber-attack that took place last October, the British Library continues to have a major technology outage including the website, online systems and services, however our buildings are open as usual.
With the Explore Archives and Manuscripts online catalogue still yet to be restored, our catalogues of Photographic collections have now been made available through the National Archives Discovery Catalogue. This includes the 'Photo' series (including the Archaeological Survey of India) and the 'Kodak Historical Collection'. We hope to expand on this offering in due course to include the Fay Godwin Collection and the Talbot photographs. The Talbot photographs are also available via the William Henry Fox Talbot Catalogue Raisonné, which includes digitised early photographs from the British Library and other institutions.
For direct links to the National Archives:
British Library Photographs on National Archives - 147,123 records
British Library Kodak Historical Collections - 3151
To consult the collections, the British Library's Print Room is currently open by appointment on Monday and Friday mornings from 10-12.30. We are aiming to be open Monday-Friday mornings in the autumn. For enquries or appointments, please email vacollections@bl.libanswers.com or apac-prints@bl.uk.
