SUMMARY:In the City - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In The City is a collection of Manchester images taken by photographer Richard Davis over the last 35 Years. The exhibition centres around Richard’s love of art\, music\, culture and football. From the heady days of Madchester\, right through to the dynamism of the present day\, the excitement and diversity of city life helping to inspire and motivate his work. Hulme plays a major role throughout the exhibtion; it’s where Richard set up a studio and darkroom in his Charles Barry Crescent flat during the late 1980’s. The area became a rich source of creativity and a backdrop for many of his photographs. The exhibition also highlights the many books\, records and films that influenced his approach to photography. \nAbout Richard Davis…Richard Davis (born 1965) is a British\, social documentary and portrait photographer\, based in North West England.

SUMMARY:The Streets of Our City: Manchester Town Hall Photographers' Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Town Hall Photographers’ Collection is a large photographic collection held in Archives+ Central Library\, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007. The collection consists of tens of thousands of images\, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly\, Manchester City Council. The photographs were taken by staff photographers\, who were tasked to document the work of the Corporation/Council departments and in doing so\, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history\, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape. The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives\, to slides\, prints\, CDs and even a couple of cine films. What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people. A team of dedicated staff\, volunteers and students from Bridge College\, Loreto College\, Manchester College and Pure Innovations are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection. This exhibition represents the result of their work to date. \nDo you recognise any of the streets or buildings? Would you like to share a memory you have of visiting somewhere in one of the images? We have limited information about these images and welcome your input to complete the information about each image.  When visiting the exhibition\, please use the book displayed at the beginning of the exhibition to record your memories and knowledge. \nWe are building a new images website. Could you take five minutes to tell us what our local image collection means to you and what features would you like to see on the new site? https://smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ERELJ7/ \nThis exhibition is free\, but please consider making a donation to support our Library Live programme if you can\, either online or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library
