The Shelter Archive of photographs by Nick Hedges consists of two sets of approximately 965 photographs commissioned by Shelter and taken by Nick Hedges from 1968-1972. These photographs document poor housing conditions and the lives of people living in slums and properties deemed “unfit for human habitation” across Britain at this time. Hedges travelled across Britain for this project with Shelter and his prints depict cities such as Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Bradford, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham and areas of London as well as rural areas such as Herefordshire and various counties of Wales. One set of the photographs is captioned, giving details of Hedges’ subjects and their lives. Accompanying these photographs is also Hedges’ photographers’ notes from 1969-1970 which detail his journeys across Britain for Shelter and his experiences of visiting and photographing various locations. The archive also contains materials such as posters, booklets and reports for Shelter that use Hedges’ photographs.

Bound copy of the script for 'Our World' broadcast with technical notes, produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation and European Broadcasting Union. These technical notes were issued to all those who needed them to play their part in the broadcast. This copy belonged to the Chief Assistant of Science Features for BBC TV, and was updated during the final preparations. 'Our World' broadcast on 25 June 1967. It was the first television programme to be broadcast live around the world. This was made possible by the use of three geostationary telecommunications satellites. It included live contributions from fourteen countries and sections on art, sport, and music, which featured a live performance from The Beatles. The 2.5 hour broadcast was watched by an estimated 400 million people worldwide.
