What is Picture Sheffield dot com?

Picturesheffield.com is the Internet version of Sheffield Local Studies Library's computerised image system. You can view over 35,000 pictures from our collections. We update the system regularly, so please check for new images. This website is only a representative selection from our collections, and most images are pre-1950.

The project has been made possible by funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The full version of Picture Sheffield, which has around 42,000 images, can be found at the Local Studies Library, Central Library, Surrey Street, Sheffield S1 1XZ.

If you can’t find what you are looking for on this online database, please contact us to see if we have images that have not yet been digitised. Contact us at localstudies.library@sheffield.gov.uk

On this website you can search the database by subject and see thumbnail images of the matching photographs.
