On 14 April a new exhibition will open in the National Library of Wales to celebrate Curator of Photography Will Troughton’s remarkable career in collecting. The Curator’s Lens: A Career in Collecting exhibition features a special selection of images chosen by Will to celebrate his career as he prepares to retire after more than three decades at the Library.
There are more than a million photographs relating to Wales in the Photographic Collection at the National Library of Wales. During his career, Will has cared for many thousands of them, playing a vital role in preserving and developing Wales' visual archive.
Out of the huge number of photos that he has seen, some stand out more than others. This can be because of a strong composition, an unusual or important subject, a clever use of technique, a funny moment, a personal connection, or because the image brings back a long‑lost memory.
