Kemsing Archive Project
The Photographic Archive consists of 2000+ negatives of photographs of the village and it’s inhabitants. These are copies of photographs that have been lent by villagers, past and present, to form an archive spanning a hundred years of village life.
To unlock the archive and make it more accessible it was decided to digitise it. This has been made possible with a grant from “Awards for All”. During 2004 a team of volunteers completed the work of scanning the negatives and storing them on the computer.
Work is now being undertaken to index and cross-reference the archive to make it easy to search.
We are also digitising documents of interest to make them more readily accessible whilst preserving the originals.
Take a look at the gallery for a very small sample of the photographic archive.
