After her death her family presented a substantial collection of her negatives, contact sheets and prints, plus some press material and correspondence, to the Morrab Library in Penzance.

Title A name given to the resource The Regal Cinema Description An account of the resource The Regal Cinema Penzance. A former Baptist chapel built in 1836 and later converted into a cinema. Converted into the Picturedrome on 5th December 1910 by Robert Thomas Cinemas Ltd. British Talking Pictures sound was installed in the early-1930’s. In January 1936 the Picturedrome was renamed The Regal Cinema with seating for 500. The Regal Cinema was then acquired by Sound & Movement Cinemas Ltd. by 1942 and then, by 1945, by Cornwall Circuit Ltd. By 1955 the seating capacity had been reduced to 408. The Regal Cinema closed on 8th February 1958. The blame was put on the Entertainments Tax and a mock tombstone was placed outside the cinema bearing the inscription “Here lies the Regal Cinema, killed by tax.” This tax, on cinema tickets introduced in 1916, was abolished two years later, in 1960. Demolished in the early 1960's and now the site of the Penlowarth Building situated on St Mary's Terrace.

Title A name given to the resource Pye Collection Description An account of the resource The collection consists of 422 photos which were donated by the St Just in Rosalind and St Mawes Heritage Group. The collection consists of images of people and views from a number of photographers who were working in Cornwall from the mid 19th Century. It seems that almost every town in Cornwall had one or more photographers working in studios. Brooks, Beringer, Burrow, Collenso, Gibson and Preston are just some of those. Many won awards for their work and won medals awarded by the Cornwall Polytechnic Society which opened in Falmouth in 1833. Carte-de-visite became very popular after 1854, often used as calling cards containing the photographic mount, there are many examples of this type. It is apparent that people turned up in their "Sunday Best" to be photographed , it is interesting to note the fashion changes over time from the Victorian era to the Edwardian. All the while changes were taking place with the photographic process, from plate and gradually to film and negative and the digital process that we have today. This collection is a very interesting record of the work of the Victorian photographer. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Pye Collection Description An account of the resource The collection consists of 422 photos which were donated by the St Just in Rosalind and St Mawes Heritage Group. The collection consists of images of people and views from a number of photographers who were working in Cornwall from the mid 19th Century. It seems that almost every town in Cornwall had one or more photographers working in studios. Brooks, Beringer, Burrow, Collenso, Gibson and Preston are just some of those. Many won awards for their work and won medals awarded by the Cornwall Polytechnic Society which opened in Falmouth in 1833. Carte-de-visite became very popular after 1854, often used as calling cards containing the photographic mount, there are many examples of this type. It is apparent that people turned up in their "Sunday Best" to be photographed , it is interesting to note the fashion changes over time from the Victorian era to the Edwardian. All the while changes were taking place with the photographic process, from plate and gradually to film and negative and the digital process that we have today. This collection is a very interesting record of the work of the Victorian photographer. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type Text to images of textual materials.
