About us
Who we are
The Watercolour World (TWW) is a UK registered charity, working with public and private collections worldwide to aggregate pre-1900 watercolours of record onto a single geographically-indexed website.
The primary objectives of TWW are:
- to protect, preserve and make publicly available the documentary information contained in the global watercolour collection;
- to aggregate digitised watercolour images in the UK and international collections, both public and private, onto one topographically-indexed website;
- to digitise, and encourage the digitisation of documentary watercolours in the UK and internationally;
- to encourage the participation of the public in sharing information and helping identify unrecognised images
