The initial 3000 photographs from the Industry section were digitised and catalogued thanks to the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and the three partners in the project have all contributed funding, as below. However, there are around a million photographs in the collection, and we would not be able to make them available without the support of the following:
- George Blackham: has sponsored photographs relating to Gornal.

- Friends of Wolverhampton Archives: have sponsored photographs relating to 1000 Years Celebration of Wolverhampton; Bilston; Bushbury; Fire Services; Lifeboats; Pendeford; Police; Penn and Lower Penn; Tettenhall; Wolverhampton streets; Wolverhampton Churches; Wolverhampton Aerial Views; Wolverhampton Markets; and Wolverhampton 1948 Centenary.
- Jackie Harrison: has sponsored photographs relating to Churchyards and Cemetaries; Cradley; Circus; the Iron and Steel Industry; and the First World War.
- Kathy and Patricia Hughes: have sponsored photographs relating to Adult Education; local Beauty and Carnival Queens; Clent; War Memorials; White Ladies; Wall; and Wolverhampton and Tilburg Links.
