PHOTOGRAPHS

Kevin Hyett was also a keen photographer. Although these are not his images, there are around 300 images of campaigning by disabled people, from 1920 to 2003 available.

These images are organised as one collection of around 14 albums, each album for a named event. These images can be shared for non-commercial use.

Most of these photographs I took myself, and mostly on 35mm film. I have donated the negatives, electronic images and their copyright to the People’s History Museum in Manchester. For all commercial enquiries and usage fees please contact http://www.phm.org.uk .
