Windows on Warwickshire
Windows on Warwickshire aims to promote access to historic collections representing the very best of Warwickshire’s heritage, culture and personalities.
The project web site contains over 10,000 fascinating items – many made available in digital format for the first time. A wide range of resources are represented – including old photographs, rare documents, maps, historic buildings, art, letters, fossils, literature, everyday memorabilia and much much more.
Each item is interpreted by relevant subject experts and the web site database can be explored using a variety of powerful search tools. A series of ”Spotlights” focus on key aspects of the collections and give users the added opportunity to improve their understanding of Warwickshire’s unique past.
