The exhibition British Design 1948-2012 currently showing at the V&A Museum explores the impact and innovation of British designers in the post war period. It shows how British designers have gone on to lead the world across the fields of architecture, product and furniture design, textiles, graphic design and fashion.

The exhibition shows how social, economic and cultural forces have shaped design in Britain, through the immediate post war austerity years, through the 1950's and the Festival of Britain, the radical social changes of the swinging sixties, the subversive seventies, economic upheaval in the eighties and through to the present.

We are currently in the process of acquiring access to the online image resource ArtStor, and which we should be making available from May.

ArtStore contains more than one million digital images covering a wide range of subjects across the arts, architecture, humanities, and sciences, all of which are licensed for use in academic work and teaching.
You can get a better idea of the full coverage of ArtStor by looking at the subject guides available on the ArtStor web site.

Look out for further announcements soon.
