This website publishes faithful transcripts of letters sent by Roger Fenton to family and friends during his "Photographic Trip to the Crimea" in 1855.

The venture is a collaborative project initiated by De Montfort University, using the two surviving letter books in the collections of the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center and The National Museum of Photography, Film and Television, now the National Media Museum. This is the first occasion that all twenty five letters have been published in full.

View the letters using the links at the top and bottom of each page, or the list to the left. You may also use the following links to find out the context in which these letters were written and to find more websites about Roger Fenton.
