One of the main purposes of the project is to digitise and store the photographic collections held by the London Borough of Hillingdon, the British and Foreign School Society (BFSS) and Brunel University.
Once the photographs have been scanned and stored electronically we are able to restore and repair any damage to the photo giving us a copy of the photo in it's original state.
Below are some examples of repaired photographs:
