There is no dedicated local photographic collection relating to the subject of riot and rebellion, but as with all subjects relating to the history of the county, researchers are advised to consult the picture collection held at Local Studies, Nottingham Central Library.
Some photos are kept under special topics, but many are kept in street/area order.
'Picture the Past' - Picture Nottingham - a joint project by the local authorities of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Derby who are currently putting a vast range of photographs onto a website – www.picturethepast.org.uk
