Photolibrary acquires Peter Arnold Inc.
Photolibrary, one of the leading global stock licensing companies with offices in the United Kingdom, USA, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and various locations in Asia, has announced that it has acquired New York-based Peter Arnold Inc. The addition of this specialist library featuring a wide range of editorial images with concentrations in Natural History, Science, and medicine, complements Photolibrary’s current archive including such collections as Garden Picture Library, Oxford Scientific, Fresh Food Images, Britain on View, and Monsoon Images.
Glenn Parker, Photolibrary Group CEO commented “The Peter Arnold collection will significantly enhance our content in the key specialty subject categories of science, medical and natural history. Coupled with our UK-based Oxford Scientific (OSF) range, the combined collections will number over 200,000 digital images. As always we will be maintaining the Peter Arnold website and will launch a new and improved version within the next few months. In addition the content will also be placed on our global generalist site photolibrary.com thereby further enhancing the revenue generating ability for the Peter Arnold contributors.”
Peter Arnold has successfully run his agency since the 1970’s and delighted with the opportunity Photolibrary presents his collection. “In Photolibrary, I’m happy to have found a good home for the Peter Arnold collection. After more than 40 years in the photo industry I’m ready to move on knowing that our photographers will be well-looked out for and the collection given a renewed chance to grow and prosper.”

It may be the “demise” of a smaller agency again but at least its a sign of the travel and nature market progressing again
