The Image Archive is a service for anyone interested in historic photographs of North Lincolnshire. It is available at our two local museums - North Lincolnshire Museum and Normanby Hall, as well as at North Lincolnshire Central Library in Scunthorpe.

Between them, the council's Museums Service and the Library Service have over 25,000 photographs. Of these, more than 4,000 have already been entered into the computerised Image Archive, with new material being added continually.
Material ranges from views of the largest towns to the smallest villages, as well as covering a variety of themes such as agriculture, industry, leisure, religion and sport.
The archive provides a comprehensive visual record of the history of North Lincolnshire from the middle of the 19th century right up to the present day, and everyone is welcome to use it.
If you would like to use this unique resource just call in at one of the venues listed below during their normal opening hours. No booking is required and staff are on hand to help you if required.
You can also use the Image Archive Online.
Our collections are by no means complete and you may have photographs of the region that you think we may be interested in. If so, please bring them to any of the sites listed above. We will always be pleased to have a look at them.
