Several members of WIRG, past and present, have donated or lent collections of photographic transparencies and prints to the group, which have been digitised. Below is a selection arranged by subject, which can be viewed by clicking on the links. Other subjects can be added in the future or additional images added to subjects already displayed. We will be pleased to receive potential additions to the archive, which can be scanned and returned. Prospective contributors should contact the Editor.
