Welcome to the Willoughby Society Image Library

There are over 2,500 images in the library at present. They quality varies according to the age of the item and the effects of time. Where possible the images have been enhanced to maximise their usefulness.

It will usually be best to search for a word, such as a surname or keyword e.g. "cricket", to limit the number of images that are downloaded to your computer. Enter your word in the box at the top of the left-hand side bar and then click the button "submit query". Matching images will be loaded into the sidebar. To view and image just click on the thumbnail of it and it will open in this frame with additional information appearing below. The buttons at the top of the page allow you to reset the search or return to the archive home page.

If you have a slow or dial up connection you may find the images take too long to download. If you live near Willoughby it may be possible to make alternative arrangements for you to be able to view the images e.g. from an external a hard drive, contact us using the feedback form if you wish to use this facility.

The images held in the web library may not be as high a resolution as the originals held locally and they are water marked. Higher resolution or non-watermarked images may be available upon request via the feedback form.

In some cases we have little information about the image. If you know more or identify an error please let us know using the feedback form.

We hope you find the library useful and informative.
