The main purpose of Ruddington Photos is as a complete collection of photographs of Ruddington for future historical use.  This will be stored in a database and left in the care of a local museum, after an agreed time (of about 20 years) this database will be reviewed for general release.

There are a few secondary or spin-off uses.  These are still in discussion but initial ideas are for local schools, charities, and journalists to be offered a cut down photograph collection. 

In addition to this there will be another cut down and edited collection available online for anyone to view at www.RuddingtonPhotos.co.uk (this website).
