Museums Service]<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The money will enable archivists to bring together images and journals from Olive Edis collections worldwide and should ensure future generations will have access to her pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Olive, who had a studio in Sheringham, Norfolk, won fame for her portraits of people from all walks of life, including local fishermen, Prime Ministers and the Royal Family.<\/p>\n<p>The Norfolk Museums Service (NMS), which is overseeing the digitisation project, says visitors to Cromer Museum will be able to explore the \u2018fully accessible\u2019 archive using smartphones and touchscreen technology.<\/p>\n<p>The grant, which will see the digitisation of all 2,000 images in the collection, will also be used to boost awareness of Olive\u2019s \u2018inspirational life\u2019, according to the NMS, which said in a statement: \u2018Her talents were soon recognised by the Imperial War Museum, which commissioned her to photograph the people, particularly women, in the armed services, and the effects of the First World War.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Olive\u2019s mission included a tour of Belgium and France in 1919, where she captured some of the devastating impacts of the conflict, including in Ypres.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Olive was involved in the suffragette movement, giving her a unique insight into the changing role of women during the war.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Olive-Edis-War-Photographer.web_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59131\"

of England, said the photographer\u2019s work spans \u2018social, gender and geographical boundaries to provide an incredible glimpse into the personal world of her subjects.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tracey Crouch, MP for Chatham and Aylesford, added: \u2018As the first woman to work as an official war photographer, it\u2019s fantastic that Heritage Lottery Fund funding will be used to tell the extraordinary story of Olive Edis.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This digital archive of her poignant work will give us a stark look at the harsh realities on the Home and Western Front, but also the changing role of women during the war.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m delighted that her work will receive the recognition it deserves and provide future generations with a better understanding of life during the First
