Exploring visual copyright archives

Interested in exploring some of the visual material held in volumes of the Stationers’ Register between 1843 and 1922? An upcoming training session will give you the skills you need to unearth them, alongside other copyrighted visual material from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Practical Archival Skills Training: Introduction to Visual Collections takes place on Thursday 12 November, 2 PM – 5 PM

This half-day online workshop introduces the rich range of visual sources held at The National Archives for researching nineteenth- and twentieth-century history and material culture. Participants will explore collections including registered designs, photographs, architecture, art, graphic design, film, trademarks, and government publicity records. The session highlights unique intellectual property collections created through copyright and design registration, alongside visual material produced by government departments. Delivered online via Teams, the workshop provides an overview of key collections and helps students identify sources relevant to their research. Please note that the workshop does not cover medieval or early modern material culture
