Communities and Crowds was a research project that aimed to share and preserve African-Caribbean history in the United Kingdom during the pre and post Windrush era. Through the project, the National Science and Media Museum worked with a group of volunteers from Bradford to select and digitise a body of photographs from the Daily Herald Photographic Archive.
The Daily Herald was a British national newspaper published between 1912 and 1964, and became the top-selling newspaper in the world, with a monthly circulation of more than 2 million. Throughout its 50 years of publication, the newspaper archived 3.5 million photographs, contact sheets and glass negatives.
