The Azook Community Interest Company is an organization
dedicated to preserving the history and culture of Cornwall, England. One of
their projects is cornishmemory.com, a website that hosts over 30,000 digitized
photographs, postcards, and other items that highlight a variety of aspects of
life in Cornwall over the past two centuries. This extensive collection can be
browsed in a number of ways. Those familiar with Cornwall may want to browse
items via the Map, where items are marked by pins. Alternatively, visitors can
browse images by Collection, where items are arranged by photographer,
historical organization, or theme. Collections include the Clive Carter
Collection, which includes almost 2,000 images taken by photographer Clive
Carter, who documented Cornish shipping and shipwrecks. Meanwhile, the Mac Waters Collection includes over
5,000 photographs collected by Waters, "a Cornishman who is imbued with
ceaseless enthusiasm and energy for all things Cornish and the preservation of
Cornish heritage." In addition, the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty collection features work by BBC's Planet Earth photographer, Ted
Giffords, that document the gardens of the Tamar Valley region
