ABSTRACT

In September 1994, I was appointed as an Arts Council Trainee in museum/ gallery-based photography education, based at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (NMPFT) in Bradford. One of the requirements of the traineeship was to produce a pilot educational project for a publication. This pilot eventually grew into the CD-ROM PhotoWork which I will discuss in this chapter. Initially financed by the Arts Council of England (ACE), PhotoWork was adopted and financially supported by the Museum when I took up my post as Education Officer in April 1996. This allowed work to continue on its development and production leading towards its eventual publication as an ACE and NMPFT educational resource.
