Do you have a collection of photographs or paper-based material? This could be your own work or papers, or a collection bequeathed to you. 

Our one-to-one practical advice session with TPG's Archivist can help take you to the next level.

Each 60-minute session can take place online or at The Photographers' Gallery. You might want to ask about areas such as:

  • preservation of the material (physical and/or digital)
  • making your collection accessible to a wider audience
  • options for digitising material in your collection
  • the basics of cataloguing

There may be different things you'd like to ask about but please note, we are unable to assess the monetary value or cultural worth of your collection. 

Please email our Archivist to arrange or discuss a session. If it feels right for you, we'll send you a booking link for payment.

These sessions are open to all, particularly anyone interested in starting or moving on with the process of archiving paper-based or photographic material.

Price: £60 full / £45 members & concessions
