Twice that number are being processed, and more arrive every month, Mainly sourced from families living in Britain with historical connections to China, these cover the period 1857-1950, range geographically across rural and urban China -- including nineteenth century Ningbo -- and were taken by professionals, talented amateurs and lucky snap-shotters, and form a rich, virtual archive. Robert Bickers, project director, will introduce the project, and its aims, progress and challenges.
