Anyone with an interest in developing their critical understanding of photography can now subscribe to the complete archive of Source Photographic Review. It has been digitised and made fully-searchable for individuals and institutional subscribers in collaboration with the Exact Editions platform. The archive stretches back to 1992 and is available across web, iOS and Android platforms.
Source offers an international perspective on contemporary photographic culture through its features and book review coverage, and an insight into some of the most innovative photographers exhibiting and working in Britain and Ireland through its portfolio pages and exhibition reviews.
