The archive weighs an amazing 180 tonnes – an incredible 22 tonnes more than Flying Scotsman.
The NRM’s photographic collection is so extensive that on average there are 26 photos for every day since 1850 when the photographic collection began. If we were to digitise the entire collection of paper-based artefacts it would take a mindblowing 240 years of solid computer scanning.
