This is the audio version of the blog post 'Who Made the Conway Library?'. The post was written by Faye Fornasier, Digitisation Manager at the Courtauld. It was first published on 30 June 2020. The audio version is read by digitisation volunteer Gill Stoker.
In this blog, Faye explains how the library was founded by Martin Conway, but subsequently added to by hundreds of expert and amateur photographers. Since 2017, volunteers have been busy transcribing names printed, stamped, or hand written onto the photographs to compile a list of names. In summer 2020, during lockdown, volunteers began the process of researching the biographies behind the names. What stories might these names reveal? On the text version of the blog, you can find the full list of names. Please do be in touch if you recognise any of them!
