Visual Culture Slides

In the early days of the Amber Collective, members took on paid work for colleges and broadcasters, and generated businesses, sharing the income amongst the group to allow them take their artistic practice forward. In 1972 Amber launched the Lambton Visual Aids slide library, producing sets of transparencies for Higher Education.

This imagery, created to illustrate potential lectures on a host of subjects, included copies of historical works and original slides alongside new images which included projects on: urban architecture, fairground arts, Blackpool Illuminations, shop fronts and other topics.

In addition to the images from the the Amber Film & Photography Collective, other photographers were commissioned to develop sets of slides in international topics under Lambton Visual Aids.
