50 years of Suffolk life in photographs

What is the Unseen Archive?

A photographic resource covering the last 50 years of Suffolk life. The Unseen Archive aims to be a valuable and accessible educational and heritage resource for all.

The East Anglian Daily Times holds a photographic archive of over two million images, which cover the last 50 years of Suffolk life. Until now much of this unique collection of images has never been seen by the public, the Unseen Archive allows greater access to a large selection of these images.

A unique pictorial resource

The archive contains a large selection of images covering all aspects of social, economic and environmental life in our county from the 1950s to the present day.

Whether you want to view the photographs for pleasure or use in a school or college project, the photographs provide a fascinating glimpse into Suffolk history. The Unseen Archive is regularly updated with new images.

A valuable educational resource

The Unseen Archive images cover a range of curriculum-based topics and are very relevant to history, geography, ICT, literacy and numeracy, particularly for key stage 1 and 2. Visit www.unseenarchive.co.uk for ideas on how these images could be used as a valuable aid to teaching and learning.
