The Derby Registers held at the National Railway Museum list many of the photographs taken by the official Midland Railway photographers and their successors in the LMS and British Railways.
The Midland Railway Society in conjunction with the National Railway Museum decided that it would be a good idea to computerise these registers in order to make the material known to a wider audience. Members of the Midland Railway Society are busy typing up the entries from photocopies of the registers. We are committed to entering the negative descriptions up to number 13,000 -- which marks the end of the Midland material in the registers.
Listed at the URL below are links to the entries we have typed in so far. We have only entered the negative descriptions -- we have not scanning the images themselves. Prints of many of the negatives can be obtained direct from the National Railway Museum. Unfortunately, a proportion of the negatives have been lost or are damaged beyond use.
The negatives are numbered approximately in chronological order. Some numbers were never used and so large gaps appear in the numbering sequence.
