Recent
examples of digitisation projects undertaken by MAX
Bexley Heritage Trust
The Bexley Heritage Trust recently unearthed a
staggering 14,000‐glass lantern slides collected and captured by its former
resident Arthur Boswell. These pictures were compiled throughout the course of Boswell’s
lifetime from 1880 to 1966. Not only do they reveal pictures of the local
Bexley area taken by Boswell, but Boswell also bought many international images
from other collectors and lantern slide makers. These additional international
images are very diverse and the locations range from the plains of Africa to
the fjords of Norway and cities across Italy.
MAX was tasked with the
digitisation of the glass slides and then the production of large format prints
for the exhibition ‘Illuminated World’ hosted at Hall Place, a Grade 1 listed
Tudor country house situated in Bexley.
