Photographs of the sidechapels before their reorganisation to accommodate the north-chapels exhibition. Diagrams are included showing the location of each side-chapel (A-R) and the photographs are labelled accordingly. The photographs show the side-chapels in use as vestries, break rooms and for storage of library books, College archives and Chapel Shop stock. The artworks and tapestries on the walls are visible, but rarely are the windows visible. One photograph shows the bottom of a stained glass window in the main part of the Chapel.

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

The photos are interleaved with archival paper to prevent transfer of adhesive that may remain on their versos.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

Transferred from the Assistant Clerk of Works in December 2009.

Appraisal

The photographs were originally mounted in three photo albums. The albums were non-archival with self-adhesive pages. The first album contained the photos of the south side-chapels and the second contained the photos of the north side-chapels. The third was a copy of those in the second. The photographs were removed in January 2010 and for each of the north side-chapel views, the better print was selected for retention.
