Mersey Gateway
The Mersey Gateway project has created a website with 20,000 digital images which illustrate the history and growth of the port of Liverpool, and the development of distinct communities within the city and in towns on the Mersey.
A team of researchers, based at Liverpool Central Library, worked with the project partners to select appropriate materials for digitisation, including manuscript and printed archives, books, maps, newspapers and photographs.
Specific themes include docks and shipping; the slave trade; trade and industry; public health and welfare; transport; immigration and emigration and the Second World War.
