Archive

Since its inception over 45 years ago, Ffotogallery has been at the forefront of developing a contemporary photographic culture in Wales through our commissioning and presentation of new work in exhibitions and at international festivals and events, through extensive print and online publishing, our support for emerging photographic and lens-based artists, and our pioneering education and outreach work that offers opportunities for creative participation for a wide cross-section of the community.

Through the years, documentation, materials and prints have been collected by various members of the team, or donated from photographers, we have an extensive collection of Ffotogallery history - coming up to our 50th anniversary and almost an entirely new cohort of staff in the last 10 years, we realised that understanding Ffotogallery’s history and its legacy, was just as important as any future routes we intend to take.

Thanks to the National Heritage Lottery Fund, we now have the funding to work on digitising and cataloguing our archive over the next two years. This will eventually enable public access to the collection online and ultimately reach audiences across Wales and further afield.
