Gibby's lantern slide collection was based on a nucleus given to him by William Arthur Bramwell, a keen Durham amateur photographer who made a hobby from about 1900 of photographing parts of the city which he realised were under threat. To this nucleus, supplemented by gifts from Canon Thomas Romans, Gibby added slides he himself took in advance of the large scale demolitions of run-down areas in the early 1960's, to record what was about to disappear.
Also included are the slides he accumulated to illustrate his popular lectures on local history and other historical topics.
