Brighton History Centre holds a small collection of photographs and illustrations to view in the search room. It also acts as a first port of call for enquiries relating to Brighton & Hove museums' holdings of approximately 250,000 photographs and postcards. The collection is particularly strong in views of twentieth century Brighton, but it is also an excellent resource for wider social history research.

Print copies or reproduction rights for many of these images are available. Contact us for further advice.

Brighton & Hove Museums are actively digitising their collections. A selection of local history photographs can be viewed at the Royal Pavilion and Museums' Collections pages. Brighton and Hove in Pictures offers another database of images.

Hove Reference Library also holds a separate collection of photographs of Hove and Portslade, although few of these have been digitised.

You may also wish to explore the James Gray Collection of Brighton photographs. Owned by the Regency Society, this website offers a large and searchable collection of images.
