Welcome to Image Bank

This page acts as a link to the Creation Zone image bank.

Over 3,000 images of particular interest to designers were digitally scanned. These are principally from Birmingham Libraries' Rare and Fine Printing Collections, but other works are also included, such as toys and games and maps and atlases. There are also representative works from the Walsall Leather Museum. It is hoped to increase the range of images that designers can choose from in the future.

One of the major aims of Creation Zone is to search images by styles, moods, methods or items of individual content rather than just through traditional means of artists or title.
