The collection was built up by the Rural History Centre over a number of years through selective printing of negatives loaned by Mr Snow. The full set of original negatives was then deposited in 1976, and copyright in them passed to the Rural History Centre on Snow's death in 1984. All Snow negatives formerly filed in the 60/series are now in PH1 1-45.

Cecil F Snow (1903-1984) was a schoolmaster and amateur photographer, who took most of his photos in Southern England during the Second World War. His images of rural crafts and craftsmen illustrate many of his wife Mary's articles in Country Life and other publications. Snow's last significant contribution to rural life photography was a commission by Katherine Woods to provide photographs for her detailed survey, Rural Crafts of England (1949).
