Beschreibungen/Notizen

• It is hard now to imagine how neglected photographs were among the collections of the RIBA in the late 1970s when Robert Elwall, a history graduate from Oxford, was a young member of the library staff. The collection was built up almost entirely from gifts, sometimes from architects who came in to make enquiries, and then increasingly by tracking down the working archives of photographers, beginning with John Maltby, whose complete archive was acquired with a grant.
