En juillet 1897, Sir Benjamin Stone – industriel de Birmingham, député et collectionneur passionné, presque obsessionnel – a annoncé la formation de la National Photographic Record Association. Son objectif principal était de faire un record de l'Angleterre pour les générations futures, de favoriser « une fierté nationale dans les associations historiques du pays, ou du quartier, dans les traditions familiales ou dans les associations personnelles ».
Au cours des 13 années suivantes, Stone et ses partisans amateurs des clubs de caméra locaux et des sociétés antiquaires ont déposé leurs photographies au British Museum. En 2000, ils ont été transférés au V&A. Ce livre examine le rôle central de Stone dans le projet et présente plus de 100 de ses photographies, dont beaucoup n'ont jamais été publiées auparavant. Il retrace également l'histoire de la NPRA et souligne ses héritages au sein de la photographie.

In July 1897, in a flourish of publicity, Sir Benjamin Stone Birmingham industrialist, Member of Parliament and passionate, almost obsessive collector, announced the formation of the National Photographic Record Association. Stone's NPRA was the most high profile part of a much wider photographic survey movement at the end of the nineteenth century which included archaeology, geology, and British ethnography. The prime objective of the NPRA itself was to record the antiquities, ancient buildings, folk customs and other survivals of historical interest for the future, forming a national memory bank in order to foster a national pride in the historical associations of the country, or neighbourhood, in family traditions, or in personal associations. Over the next 13 years Stone and his amateur supporters from local camera clubs and antiquarian societies deposited a collection of photographs at the British Museum. In 2000 these prints were moved to the Victoria & Albert Museum. This book, by leading photo historians Elizabeth Edwards and Peter James, examines in detail Stone's central role in the project and presents over 100 of his photographs, many of which have never been published before. It also charts the history of the NPRA from its roots as well as pointing to its legacies within photographic practices today, for example in the work of Homer Sykes and Daniel Meadows. What is especially striking is the resonance of these pictures in our own age.
