collections of programme related objects, photographs, works of art, and items of technology. The Corporation is tasked with looking after its own history, and through its partners, such as the National Media Museum in Bradford it is becoming increasingly possible to access these collections through exhibitions and events. Our online collection below reveals some of the classic gems of the collection – a permanent insight into what is not always on show elsewhere.</p></div></div><div class="widget widget-pagelink widget-pagelink-featured" data-widget-index="4"><ul><li class="item first"><a href="/web/20170803120901/http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/collections/photos"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170803120901im_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/corporate2/images/width/live/p0/27/vr/p027vrpk.jpg/256" width="256" height="144" alt="Photos" data-pid="p027vrpk"/></a><div class="details"><h3><a href="/web/20170803120901/http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/collections/photos">Photos</a></h3><p class="text">There are thousands of pictures in the BBC’s photographic archives, many of which can be seen at BBC exhibitions. The BBC regularly partners up with The National Media Museum, The Science Museum, The Lowry, and others to tell aspects of the BBC story, and still images form an important part of this work.

Mechanical clocks were also seen regularly, often before important broadcasts such as the national news. Two idents are on show at the Media Café in New Broadcasting House, London, and the last mechanical clock to be used on air is also on display. A permanent display of ident images is also on show.

In the BBC hierarchy that person is the Director-General. Sadly, the series of DGs is incomplete. Three director generals were overlooked amid the preoccupations of World War 2 and its aftermath. They are Frederick Ogilvie, Cecil Graves and Robert Foot. Post the departure of former Director -General Mark Thompson, various options have been considered as to how best portray this important figure in the digital age. </p><p class="tags"></p></div></li></ul></div> </div> <div class="widget-container widget-container-right" data-widget-section-index="3"> <script>var search_parameter_1003="term";var search_num_results_1003=50;</script><div class="widget widget-search" role="search" data-widget-index="1003"><h3 id="heading-">Search the site</h3><p>Can't find what you need?
