Africa's colonial history digitised

In the UK the National Archives has digitised the entire African section of the Colonial Office Photographic Collection, and made them freely available to view online.


The collection covers more than 100 years of British rule in Africa, dating back to the 1850s and including some of the earliest known images of Africa. The Colonial Office Photographic Collection contains 40,000 images, and the images taken in Africa represent about a third of the whole. Other sections of the collection will now be digitised.

In response the National Archives has launched a public outreach programme, making contact with communities who can help build fuller, more contemporary readings of the images. The programme has visited three areas so far, and has already thrown up some interesting responses.

 

You can view the collection on The National archives Flickr

I'm not sure exactly why but this website is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Getting health right is not always about all that though is it? Sometimes I find it's more of a state of mind than anything else, where you need to be in total control of what you are trying to achieve. That probably sounds a bit voodoo, but you know what I mean.

I hope you never stop!

This is one of the best  Ive ever read. Youve got some mad skill here, man. I just hope that you dont lose your style because youre definitely one of the coolest bloggers out there. Please keep it up because the internet needs someone like you spreading the word.

Btw I dont know why noones writing blog posts about this <A href="facebook.com/...ccigarette.cigregret">free electronic cigarette</A> giveaway youtube vid? It's New years and the amount of peoplewho are giving up cigarettes is massive. I would imagine electronic cigarettes and quitting smoking will be a hugely googled statement for next few weeks.

Might be a bit out of the blue but traffic is traffic and everyone likes free shit.

I really need to run a blog!

Lots of love

Along with the whole thing which appears to be developing throughout this subject matter, all your viewpoints are generally fairly refreshing. Having said that, I am sorry, but I do not give credence to your whole plan, all be it exhilarating none the less. It looks to us that your remarks are not completely justified and in actuality you are generally yourself not even totally certain of the argument. In any case I did appreciate looking at it.

wing

Thursday, June 02, 2011 1:48 PM

wing

As far as power allocations, usages and distributions, one should take into consideration the importance of proper groundings. In any particular hospital wing or building, a common power ground as well as a common signal ground must be established and together which must be tied together into a common point in that building to avoid any ground loops. By doing so, ground impedance and/or resistances can be brought to a minimum, thus eliminating any difference in ground potentials, minimizing any noise /harmonics in the power lines that eventually will interfere with the proper operation of any medical equipment.

I had been wondering if your web host is OK? Not that Im complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will very frequently affect your placement in google and can damage your quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my email and could look out for a lot more of your respective intriguing content. Make sure you update this again very soon.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd certainly appreciate it.

The crux of your writing while sounding reasonable in the beginning, did not really sit very well with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but only for a short while. I however have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one might do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. If you can accomplish that, I will certainly end up being amazed.

I've been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
