Royal Photographic Society (RPS) Project

The Royal Photographic Society (RPS) collection at the V&A is one of the most significant collections of photography in the world. To unlock its inspiring potential, we are leading an ambitious project that will preserve the collection for future generations while opening it up to a global audience. By creating high-quality digital records and images, conserving and researching the collection, we can remove barriers to access, spark new stories, and deepen public engagement with the rich, diverse cultures of photography. This initiative represents a transformative step in making this world class collection available for all.
