Picture researchers in the UK have been telling us how they miss the benefits of
searching files and rummaging through the stacks themselves "for that undiscovered pictorial
gem, which is what the fun used to be about." (Diana Korchien, Editor, Montage).
So to help them and all our agents and customers
we have digitised
our news pictures
and captions for 1960 day by day.
This new standard of digitisation reflects our commitment to the ongoing conservation
of decaying negatives and preservation of the complete image, uncropped and just
as it was the day it was taken. They are in the raw and you see the original images and
captions, with no watermarks when you log in.
To see the whole day's production, just as the busy news editor did fifty years ago,
click on the link from our homepage. Our new front page www.topfoto.co.uk shows the day's
output from 50 years ago, day by day.
You will want to work ahead for story leads and to do this you can just search with the date,
for example March 1960. We add more from the original daily
files of
TopFoto's News archive all the time.
