MANCHESTER, UK — The British Coatings Federation (BCF) has launched an online archive as part of celebrations marking the 110th year since the inaugural meeting of The National Federation of Associated Paint, Colour and Varnish Manufacturers of the United Kingdom.
The BCF has created an online resource of the history archives of the many different associations that make up its long history. Annual reports, minute books and photographs from paints, coatings and printing ink associations date back to 1911. The archives are available to preview on an online platform called e-Hive, a web-based collection cataloguing system. To access the online archive, visit https://www.coatings.org.uk/history.aspx.
