Cataloguing this enormous volume of material and putting it into a form where researchers and the public can appreciate it is a costly and time-consuming exercise. Fortunately a generous grant from the Leverhulme Trust allowed us to appoint an archivist and make a start on this work. It also allowed us to put together a sample of the content which enabled Dundee University Department of Fine Art to make a successful application to the British Universities Arts and Humanities Research Board for funding for a three-year project. Their grant of over £300,000 will allow students of Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art to digitise a selection of 10,000 photographs from the archive and post them on the internet.
