Coffee Time Talk: Exeter Through the Lens
Exeter Through the Lens: Saving the Isca Photographic Collection is a recorded Coffee Time Talk originally delivered in January 2026 by Isca Photographic Collection Project Officer, Kitty Vega.
In this talk, Kitty explores the remarkable history of the Isca Collection, one of Exeter’s most important visual archives, and the life and work of Henry Wykes, the city’s foremost twentieth century photographer. The recording offers a behind the scenes look at the urgent conservation and digitisation work underway to save thousands of fragile images and reveals the powerful stories they tell about Exeter’s people, places, and everyday life.
