ARCHIVE
The Winchester Gallery has been hosting exhibitions for more than four decades. Much of that history is only documented in physical archives. We are creating this digital archive to make our history more accessible.
The online archive is a work in progress. Please email us at TWG@soton.ac.uk if you have material you would like to contribute.
