Scope and content
35mm colour photographic slides, including images of publications, floor plans, and drawings. Slides were taken by the depositor to support the teaching of architectural history courses for the WEA and for building conservation courses at the University of York. These courses were based on work carried out by the depositor for English Heritgae [now Historic England] revising and rewriting the Statuatory List of Buildings of Architectural and Historical Interest in York, published in the late 1990s.

System of arrangement
Slides have been arranged into series based on the original classification system used by the creator, which was based on location. Each series reference includes the original code used by the creator, with the exception of the series for Priory Street (SCL/1/PSR), which used the same code as the series for Parliament Street (SCL/1/PS), and has therefore been changed to give it a unique reference. The complete original reference can be found in the alternative identifier field.
The slides have been re-arranged into series to reflect the original order in July 2024. If you have consulted an item from this collection before July 2024, you can find the full former reference in the alternative identifier field.
Not all slides from the original list have been transferred to the archive.
