During lockdown the ONFife Archives and the Local Studies team have taken on the colossal task of scanning their photographic collections to establish a digital Fife-wide image archive.
Within this archive, historical images of Fife are now available to the public for free on photograph website Flickr.
The archive is sorted by location, with albums titled by towns and villages from across Fife including Auchtermuchty, Glenrothes, Burntisland, Thornton and Rosyth. Each album tells the viewer which local library is best one to access more information about the photographs.
The photos are watermarked with the ONFife logo but can be made available for purchase as a clear copy.
