Exploring the Art of Sri Lanka- a recent Digital Photgraphy Archive

By Farzana Whitfield|August 1, 2012|Art and Archaeology, South Asia|0 comments

During the1970’s it was Professor Howard Wilson’s vision to view all Museum and Archive photographic collections, through the power of ‘video technology’. Wilson, managed to photograph caves, museum images and private collections before his death in 1998.

Wilson’s dream was carried through by his wife, who found a home for the project at the Ancient India and Iran Trust in Cambridge. The Howard Wilson Archive can be searched through a catalogue, where you will find images of temples, caves, scriptures and Royal Palaces all pertaining to the rich history of Sri Lanka.  To explore these jewels, please click on the following link:http://www.indiran.org/HW/
