Artists and Craftsmen
ABV is not just about good photography. Drawings, paintings, sculpture, poetry, writing, video and all forms of creative material are welcome as part of our heritage.
We especially wish to encourage young and old to participate in working with us in helping to share these creative abilities.
We do want to keep our technical standards as high as possible with regards scanning and digital photography and refer you to our services page on photography to help you with this advice. If in doubt please contact us. View Photography Services
Our projects rely on this participation and we would like you to contact us with your stories and pictures or words. If you feel you have an interesting idea why not contact us by email now. Contact ABV
ABV hopes to make this a wider ranged project and is looking to other councils and organisations for their participation and support.
