Capital Collections is Edinburgh Libraries' online image library. The project was initiated to provide greater access to some of the 100,000 images within its collections. The website was launched in February 2008 with an accompanying exhibition, entitled “Edinburgh Past and Present”, featuring images chosen by personalities connected with the city.〔(Stars Choose Favourite Pictures )〕 Some of the celebrities who selected and commented on images from the collection included swimmer Kirsty Balfour, impressionist Rory Bremner, former Bishop of Edinburgh Richard Holloway, and children’s author Aileen Paterson. Six years later, nearly 35,000 images have been digitised and more than 8000 images are available to view online. ==World Heritage Site== The digitisation project was part-funded by Edinburgh World Heritage Trust,〔(Capital Collections )〕 to allow users access to the rare and unique material relating to the Old and New Towns of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The website gives people all over the globe an educational tool to learn more about their family history and cultural roots.〔(Auld Reekie in New Light )〕 The photographer involved with the project have the opportunity to take contemporary photographs of the city.
