Tim Hetherington archive on IWM Collections

Images from the award-winning conflict photographer Tim Hetherington (1970-2011) are now available to view and license on IWM Collections
The extensive archive comprises Hetherington’s seminal work from his embeds in Afghanistan (2007-2008), Liberia (2003-2006) and Libya (2011), reflecting his work as an intrepid conflict journalist, humanitarian and innovator.
Tim Hetherington died 10 years ago on 20th April 2011 while covering the Libyan civil war. Over his career, Hetherington’s inquisitive and visionary approach helped to shape our understanding of conflict.
The entire Tim Hetherington archive, including rarely seen images from his final assignment in Libya, was donated to IWM by the Tim Hetherington Trust, which was set up to manage his estate following his death.
