• Enhanced search on combinations of characteristics
• View image lists by title or thumbnail

The County Photographs on  the Web system is part of a larger software system for PCs - called the County Record system - which provides a comprehensive Administrative and OPAC system of accessing seamless modern and historic maps and archaeological data as well as images. Users of the County Photographs system can upgrade to the County Record system as and when required.

The County Record is derived from a project undertaken for Durham County Council Arts, Libraries and Museums Department which was grant aided by the Department of National Heritage under the Public Library Development Incentive Scheme in recognition of its innovative nature.
