Dartmoor Trust Archive
About our project
The Dartmoor Trust Archive aims to provide a home for photos, video and audio depicting life on Dartmoor. We have scanned tens of thousands of items and made them available to the public for free through this website. Our approach to preservation has been to capture these items to National Archive standards - these digital masters are then stored in multiple secure locations to ensure they are around for generations to come.
We do not store the original items. If you have a collection that you would like to add to the Archive please contact us to find out more about our project. Where a copyright exists, it remains with the copyright holder - we can support you in getting the items digitised and, where desired, we can advise on finding a new physical home for the original items.
Using our items
If you would like to use any of the items in our Archive for something you are working on, please contact us first. We can discuss the terms and conditions surrounding their use. Email [email protected] with a record number or numbers of hte items you would like to use. We may be able to provide higher resolution versions to support your work.
