2015 Dec 5th
| The Image Archive
The
Image Archive is now fully back online. Incredibly we have broken
through the 10,000 images barrier. The 10,000th image was a colour
photo of the ship at Bangor in 1947.
The archive is split into five sections:
Audio & Video: This contains 40 sound and film clips which can be
listened to /viewed online. I still have another 17 or so to load.
Photos: This is the vast majority of the archive and shows people,
places and things from 1859 to 1974 organised in albums by year. Only
14 of the years have no photos. The photos are also grouped into 132
themed albums covering things like Rugby 1st XV teams, the Pinnace,
Demolishing The Huts and the Ship at Rock Ferry.
Documents: These are also organised in albums by year (1859 to 1974 but
with a few gaps), and 24 themed albums covering e.g. Term Calendars,
Plays & Concerts, Crests & Badges and Passing Out Exams.
Art Gallery: This covers cartoons, drawings and paintings organised
into 71 albums by the artist’s names, three albums for entries where
the artist is not known and five albums collecting art relating to each
of the ships including some of Conway 2 (ex Winchester) while she was
TS Edgcumbe at Saltash. Incredibly there is one painting of her being
broken up in 1921 - to go with the three photos and one newspaper
cutting of that event.
“Today”: This group of albums covers everything since 1974. There
are albums for Club Dinners since 1923 with just 11 years missing,
eight Term/Year Reunions and 14 Branch events. Finally there is an
album of ‘How We Look Today” and 32 albums showing Conway places today
e.g. inside the Kelvin Block, the site of the Camp and the Rock Ferry
moorings.
The frightening part of all this is that it takes me approximately 4
minutes to prepare and load an image so that’s nearly 12 weeks of
continuous work just to load them. For example authenticating dates and
names can be challenging involving lots of cross checking with The
Cadet magazine and The Cadets’ List (also online). The latest revamp
now online involved moving the whole archive to a new database as our
old software was no longer supported, removing duplicates, validating
lots of dates, re-indexing entries and much more taking me five more
weeks which seems ridiculous but I hope you’ll think the result is
worth the effort.
I hope you enjoy looking through the Image Archive and, as always, if
your photos and documents are not there please email copies to me at
alfie@hmsconweay.org. I am now aiming for 11,000images!
