Celebrating the National Glass Plate Negatives Recognised as a Unesco Memory of the World

Exhibiting memories of a time gone by, the National Archives collection takes you back to the age of Siam and chronicles the many metamorphoses the ancient city endured from 1855 to 1935 (Rama IV to Rama Vll). A collection of royal photographic glassplate negatives and original prints from the Royal Vajirayana Library was recently recognized by the UNESCO as a “Memory of the World,” and these century-old images have been put on display for the first time.
