Chambré Hardman
A large collection of portraits, landscapes and local scenes by Edward Chambré Hardman (1898-1988) is held at the Record Office. Part of the collection is owned by the City Council and part belongs to the National Trust. A Heritage Lottery funded project led by the National Trust is currently underway to catalogue a large number of the images. Some of which will also be scanned and made available via the Mersey Gateway website. It is expected that a lot of this work will be completed by March 2005. Please contact Emily Burningham, archivist for the collection, for further information on 0151 233 5849.
