Contributions and additions

The BVA will develop by adding new contributions as time passes. These should be items of long-term interest, either because they are already old or historic, or because they are sufficiently significant to merit inclusion now. This excludes the huge and growing quantity of instant ephemeral images generated by 21st century personal technology. Please use the form below to find out how to contribute.
