Still & Moving Images Archive

The value of photographs as integral to the collections of the museum was accepted from the beginning of the museum's development and consequently, over the past forty plus years, the archive has evolved into probably the most significant local source of historical images from the 1860's to the present day. 

The archive today contains over 300,000 still images representing the way of life of the people of Northern Ireland and, on an international scale, aspects of the history of transport. Although the archive comprises collections of varying sizes, the William A. Green Collection of photographs, taken in the 1905-1930 period, illustrating many aspects of life and place, and the Harland & Wolff Collection, covering shipbuilding and engineering in the company's yard in Belfast, are both notable for their size and importance.   

In addition, the growing collections of moving images on film and video provide additional material.
In collaboration with the Northern Ireland Film Commission the museum is an access point to the "Digital Film Archive" that provides, via a computer station, 55 hours of digitised moving images about Northern Ireland from 1897-2000.  

The archive is used extensively, by researchers, publishers and the media. A photographic service is available and copy images can often be provided from the collections and new photography undertaken.
