NEXT RECORD

Archive Notes:

Minn and Buckler topographical image collections by Malcolm Graham and Colin Harris. The originals of these important photographs and drawings are in the Bodleian Library, but with funding from the Oxfordshire Family History Society, OHC’s copies have been digitised and are available on-line for the first time, via PictureOxon. The collections give a fascinating insight into the city and county from the late 1700s to the mid-20th century.
