Discover our Digitized Collection |
The Centre for Local Studies has a large collection of images relating to Darlington and the surrounding areas (over 46,000 in fact!). In recent years we have been working hard with our dedicated volunteers to digitise many of the slides and negatives in the collection and make them available online for people to view. Our February display features some of the thousands of pictures we have shared on Flickr; from Darlington’s Theatre Royal posters from the 1880s to photographs of the town throughout the 20th Century. Call in and find out more about the digital photo collection and how you can view it
