In 1970 the Faculty of Art and Design Library at Bristol Polytechnic accepted responsibility for a slide collection, the reorganisation of which was guided by information received from other art libraries, and was further refined following the removal of the collection into the library in 1974. Slides are filed alphabetically by country, artist, and other criteria, within the categories of Fine Art, Architecture, and Design, and a notation has been derived from this arrangement. A fourth section of the collection houses sets of slides.
