FACTS

This major photographic archive contains over 24,000 images from the early 1800s to the present day recording the changing face of Leeds.

The new digital archive brings together photographs from the collections in Leeds Library and Information Services, Leeds Civic Trust, Leeds Museums Service, the Thoresby Society and West Yorkshire Archives Service.

It is hoped that Leodis will soon be able to make available playbills from the Leeds Theatres
