History of Real Tennis “To see Good Tennis! What divine joy Can fill our leisure, or our minds employ? Let other people play at other things; The King of Games is still the Game of Kings” from Parker’s Piece by J.K. Stephen Recently we were requested to digitise photographs for a client who's son had refurbished a Victorian Real Tennis Court.  What followed was a fascinating history of Real Tennis. Real Tennis is still almost the same sport as the Royal Game that was played with such great enthusiasm at all the princely courts of Europe and by a large contingent of the urban elite between roughly 1500-1800.  After 1800 the interest in the game dwindled on the continent, but it survived in Great Britain. After 1874, when the new game of lawn tennis swept the country, royal tennis became more fashionable again among the English aristocracy.  By the year 1900 the popularity of lawn tennis was so great that it was universally called "tennis" and the old game ha...

Photograph Archiving for Oxford United Football Club

Scanning Archival Photographic Images - Community Heritage Projects Our archive department has been busy working on Oxford United Football Club's archive of photographs.   Before we scan the photos, it is important to consider the way in which the files will be organised. Either by date, event, image size and how the files will be names.    Handling and Cleaning Photographs Our archive suite ensures to carefully handle the photographic historical items by their edges to avoid damage from fingerprints.  Fingerprints are a significant threat to photographic materials and can be very difficult to correct. Fingerprints may not manifest in photographic materials until long after the actual incident of touching the surface.  Air blowers are used to remove dust and a lint-free wipe or cloth to clean the scanning bed before scanning. Our archive technicians wear cotton or latex gloves when handling historical items.  Dust on historical items and scanning beds ...
