| Description | Photographs: This series has been arranged in chronological order. The Jacob's Biscuit Factory Photographic Archive is available on the Digital Repository of Ireland (here). It comprises photographs, photographic albums and slides. The images date from the late 19th century to the early 21st century. The photographs reflect the company's history as a major employer in Dublin city, and in Liverpool, and as a global exporter of biscuits. The images document changing factory processes and machinery, factory buildings, the Jacob's Radio and Television Awards, and advertising material. The archive contains many photographs of Jacob's employees and pensioners at company events, including long service awards and sporting events. Some images are not suitable for online publication.
