Scope and Content This collection is formed of photographs of material held by HES, but outwith HES Archives collections. It has been digitised by HES Archives for depictions of a historic site and/or a Property in Care. This includes historic drawings of Trinity House, material which is held by HES Collections.
Archive History This was originally created as a temporary group for digitisation of an Old Whithorn hall painting. The drawings of Trinity House were items held by HES Collections in relation to Trinity House, a Property in Care. They included an album of drawings by Thomas Brown, the architect of Trinity House, dated 1816. Alongside this were loose drawings: some signed by Brown and dated 1815-16; others that appear contemporaneous to Brown, but unsigned and undated; and later material, including site plans by James Simpson, Leith Burgh architect, and late 20th C. photocopies of modern technical drawings of the site.
Administrative History This group will be used for digitising non-archives HES collections from Feb 2025 onwards [MA, with approval form MY and VF, 17/02/25]. This was originally created as a temporary group for digitisation of an Old Whithorn hall painting. To be re-structured. [FA 9/1/23] Trinity House drawings held by HES Collections were loaned to HES Archives for digitisation in 2024-25. The material was digitised as it is a depiction of a historic site and Property in Care. The decision was taken Feb 2025 to use this group (551/500/11) as the collection grouping in which to place photographs from digitisation of non-archives HES collections. [MA, with approval form MY and VF, 17/02/25] Each project and grouping shall be placed in clearly delineated group folders. Collections relating to a particular Property in Care shall be organised by site as the node from which collections are arranged - with offshoot batches - as with the Trinity House material (551/500/11/1).
