The People of Gibraltar
2017 - Nationaal Archief - A Collection of Photographs


The Dutch National Archives – Nationaal Archief – has a considerable collection of 20th century photographs of Gibraltar of which a fair number have been digitised and are available on the net. Almost all of these are early to mid 20th century although on the whole the Archive offers precious little information on dates, photographer or subject matter.


Out of a total of 170 odd photographs I have chosen those that I consider the most interesting. I have also added my own speculations as regards dates and content where necessary.  You can find the links to well over 100 of these photographs by following the links below.
