For several years now the Lafayette Project has been compiling a data base of portrait photographs from the Copy I collection at the Public Record Office, Kew (PRO). The Lafayette Project was founded to further the cataloguing of historic photographs and funding by the Elm Trust has enabled the project to set new standards for the documentation of historic photographs based on careful analysis of an image and its contents as a historical source. The data base is a means not only of investigating portraits but also a starting point for entering into the wider scope of the collection to pursue historical research.
