Archives
The Documentary Photographic Archive includes images from family albums and views from across the region which capture all aspects of the people and places of the county. It also contains commissioned collections and donations of photographic deposits.
The Documentary Photography Archive (DPA) is a unique archive which documents the life of the Greater Manchester region. The archive began as a rescue project by an organisation called Manchester Studies in 1975. It now contains over 100,000 images, dating from the earliest days of photography to the present day.
The information in the catalogue references GB124.DPA/1-3178 was collected as part of oral history interviews conducted by Documentary Photographic Archive field officers in the 1970s and 1980s. It therefore may contain some inaccuracies. We are happy to hear from family members or others who would like to contribute to the catalogue information or correct any mistakes.
