Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here...

This digital archive offers exciting photos, press articles and other interesting documents about The Who that we want to share with other fans. The "Swiss The Who Archive" features 1'200+ items and is regularly updated. Various search access points will help you find your way through this archive and let you find all the images within.
The items in this archive have mostly been collected by Alex throughout the years and are now taken care of by Roger. Read the full story.

Usage guide

There are several ways to access this archive. You may browse the archival descriptions, where all items are listed hierarchically in a classification system. The granularity is rather wide - e.g. there is just a subfonds for "newspaper" where all items are listed.

If you want to research in more detail then browsing by subject or authority record will serve you better. Using authority records, you may find items based on which person (usually a band member) is tagged.

You can also list archival descriptions by choosing the subject you are interested in.

And of course, there's a search page that you can use as well.

Restrictions

There are certain archival descriptions, mainly the photographs in the fonds U.1 where only the watermarked preview image is available. If you would like to see the high resolution image, please send a request in order to get full access.
