The Shoe Digitisation Project has just passed a massive milestone; we have now taken over 100,000 images of shoes!

Since 2014, a dedicated team of professionals have been working on the project to clean, document, repackage and photograph our historic shoe collection. We now have a photographic record of over 7,000 shoes predating 1979, and the team are shortly going to start on the 1980s collection.

The honour of the 100,000th image went to this gorgeous front lace boot, made in America in 1900.
