About Us
The archive is made up of old glass plate and film negatives from the Andrew Paterson Studio of Inverness (1895-1980) that were rescued from imminent destruction in 2001. Some of the negatives had already been lost due to uneven temperatures causing the gelatine to degrade into a sticky paste.
|
The SHPA was formed with the philanthropic aim to preserve the remaining collection. They are now stored in hundreds of boxes in a temperature-controlled environment.
|
This website has been set up as a heritage project which will allow descendants of these Scottish Highlanders the opportunity to access portrait images of their ancestors.
