Visualising China

All these posts of Robert Bickers, his new book and China tour recently put me in a mood to note a project he is involved in called Visualising China. It’s an incredible and growing archive of photographs of old China being built out of Bristol University by Jamie Carstairs, the Digitisation Officer (a bit of a William Gibson type job title that!!). A much over-worked term but this certainly looks like becoming a treasure trove.

Check it out – and I think they’re always looking for more photos if anyone has any they can offer them.
