About
The Belfast Telegraph Archives were built up over the last 147 years. Until 2000 everything that was included in the library was retained as non-digital files. This archive includes pictures, negatives, transparencies, news clippings and rolls of microfilm. It is estimated that the archive contains over 1.5million images, 500,000 negatives and transparencies, over 250,000 news clippings and 1400 rolls of microfilm.
To digitise this amount of material is no small task, but we know that it is extremely important that this information be saved, rather than lost to the ravages of time. As the printed sources are fragile and slowly decaying, we are racing against time to make sure that all of these documents are preserved digitally.
In conjunction with the above work, selected images from the Belfast Telegraph Archives 1870 - 2000 are now for sale for the first time.
As the images become available to buy we will be adding them to this site.
When you purchase images from this site, you are directly helping to fund the ongoing project to digitise the entire Belfast Telegraph Image Library, and make sure it will be available as a significant historical source for future generations in Northern Ireland and worldwide.
You are helping to preserve this important source of history for all time.
