Farnhill Methodist WW1 Roll of Honour – conservation & restoration

Restoration, to return the Roll to something like its original condition, was a multi-stage process.

• A high-resolution photograph was taken of the conserved Roll.
• A good-quality Roll of the same design was identified in the North Yorkshire county archive – originally from Snape, near Leeming.
• A high-resolution photograph was taken of this Roll.
• Using digital image manipulation software, the names were removed from the Snape Roll and replaced with the names from the Farnhill Roll.
• Photographs of other archived Rolls were also used to achieve exact colour and pattern matches.
• The composite was printed, full-size, onto acid-free paper.

This digitally-restored Roll was unveiled during the project’s exhibition “From Farnhill to the Front” on 10th November 2018.
