Gateshead's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art has unveiled an online archive covering 25 years of gallery exhibitions.
This digital platform boasts over 30,000 items from the gallery's illustrious past.
It can be accessed for free, allowing the public to immerse themselves in a vast array of images, videos, and audio from past and present exhibitions, and revealing items by subject or theme.
Sarah Bouttell, producer of documentation, library and archive at Baltic, said: "There was always an ambition to record and document Baltic’s history through an archive and library housed within the gallery itself.
"This new online resource gives people the freedom to search and explore Baltic’s archive and library online."

She believes the Baltic Archive will be a valuable asset for educational institutions and anyone interested in contemporary art.
"It captures the depth and scope of Baltic’s practice, which is about creating a greater understanding of the world through outstanding, experimental and inspiring contemporary art.
"Everything we add to Baltic Archive is something people can use; it all has a purpose."
The online resource, realised through funding provided by Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Digital Accelerator Programme, offers three ways to dive into Baltic's collection.
The 'Explore' section presents current and featured exhibitions and updated content, all curated by Baltic's specialised team.
'Discover' allows users to type in their interests and receive a list of relevant terms existing within the archives, leading them on a path of intriguing discoveries.
The 'Search' function is a detailed tool enabling specific resources or items to be pinpointed from the gallery's extensive collection.
The archive details all of Baltic’s exhibitions and collections and its history as a part of Rank Hovis flour mills complex before its transformation into a contemporary art gallery.
To access the archive, visit archive.baltic.art, or for in-person access to Baltic Library, visits can be organised from Wednesday to Sunday.
