We are pleased to announce that a stunning collection of images of
London's East End, captured by award-winning photographer Paul Trevor,
are now available to view online at VADS:
http://www.vads.ahds.ac.uk/search.php
Academics and artists at London Metropolitan University have been
working with photographer Paul Trevor to make a selection of his images
of East London digitally available to artists, students and researchers.
The Collection includes 500 images (chosen from a total of 120,000) of
the Spitalfields area from the 1970s to the 1990s, a period of rapid
social and physical change.
The Paul Trevor Collection is part of a larger archive project at London
Metropolitan University, which will eventually include oral as well as
visual narratives, that aims to represent aspects of the lives of local
East End communities in their distinctive social, economic and political
contexts.
In selecting the images, the project team have tried to be reflective
and consider why they were drawn to particular images, and which
cultural narratives influence their selections and how the present
shapes what we identify as significant about the past. They articulated
a shared goal of trying to 'capture the spirit of the time', whilst
being aware that they were also producing that spirit through their
interpretations, discussion and choices.
