PHOTO PRESERVATION: Following retirement from the Sound Archive, he founded Heritage Recording UK, offering training, consultancy and contract work in heritage recording and preservation. Clients included English Heritage, National Trust, RSPB, National Library of Wales, United Nations (War Crimes Tribunal) Dry Stone Walling Association UK etc. He realised that many heritage photos held in private collections are being lost and so set up heritagephotoarchiveuk to preserve those photographs and Collections
