ARCHIVE images of the county are now available for residents to view and buy online.

Worcestershire County Council's libraries and learning, archive and archaeology service has teamed up with Worcester Museum and Art Gallery to give people access to hundreds of images from their collections.

They are now available at the new Worcestershire Prints website at worcestershireprints.co.uk The website is searchable and showcases over 400 images of Worcestershire and its hidden treasures.

Digitised Images have been created from original documents from collections at The Hive and original paintings from the museum and art gallery.

Images are also available to buy online as postcards, prints and canvases.

Nicki Hitchcock, libraries and learning area manager, said: “This is a unique opportunity for people to see images from our collections, some of which have been locked away for many years.”
