Suffolk Photographic Survey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Suffolk Photographic Survey was an initiative made by Robert Pratt, of Capel St Mary in Suffolk, England in 1954. Its aim was to establish a collection of photographic images of sufficient variety to reflect the variety to be found in the history of Suffolk.[1] Under the aegis of the Suffolk Local History Council the collection had grown significantly. In 1973 the collection was held at the Abbot's Hall Museum - subsequently the Museum of East End Life and now The Food Museum.[2] In 1976 the collection was rehoused in the care of the Suffolk Record Office facilities then located in the former Bramford Road School.[3]
