We hope to give it an article and have kicked off by uploading images of the 54 coins in the collection and some group shots. We hope to work on the article through AFC. Some of the coin highlights are below.

Studio Pottery

The enormous collection of Studio pottery collected by Ismay and now held by YMT was subject to a Google Cultural Institute project for which brand new high-quality photographs were taken. Subsequently, I was able to upload these images to Commons: W.A. Ismay Studio Ceramic Collection. These have now been used on the biographical articles for some of the potters, Ismay's article and the main Studio pottery article. The Ismay article was created from scratch by Theroadislong.

The Sydney Harold Smith photographic collection

Sydney Harold Smith photographed diverse subjects in early 20th-century Yorkshire. This collection is dominated by his images of Yorkshire's last wildfowler' Snowden Slights. These images have great potential for historic Yorkshire articles.
