Wanted: Photographic negatives of varying time periods and types

[Michael Pritchard]

As part of a forthcoming display at the V&A Museum, London, about the history and use of different cameras, the museum is seeking donations of a small selection of negatives. Ideally, the subjects depicted in the negatives will be visible (ie. landscapes are difficult to read at such a small scale) and global in geographic location - not just from the UK.

Please do get in contact if you have anything in your personal collection that you would consider donating or know of someone who might be interested.

• One half plate collodion negative (ideally a portrait or still life) (1880 – 1895)
• Strip of black and white 35mm negatives (dates about 1933-43)
• Strip of black and white 120 negatives (dates about 1928-38)
• About six Kodachrome slides (in mounts) (dates about 1959-69)
• Strip of Kodak 126 cartridge film negatives (dates about 1965-75)
• Strip of colour negatives (ideally Fuji) (dates 1990-2000)

 With very best wishes,

Hana
