The Photographers' Archives and Legacy Project is a research project led by photographer Jem Southam, Emeritus Professor of Photography in the School of Arts and Media at University of Plymouth.
The project looks at how UK-based, independent photographers can make their work and related contextual material publicly accessible, now and for the long-term and how opportunities can be increased for the general public, researchers and students to have access to, learn about and enjoy their work.
Here you can find out more about the research. There are case studies showing how photographers Daniel Meadows, Mark Power and Liz Hingley have been thinking about this issue and what they are doing.
Latest update: Jem Southam has been rediscovering images in his archive. Here is a new story and images from his series Paintings of the West of Cornwall 1982-86.
