At the International Congress of Astronomers that met in Paris, in 1887, to plan the mapping of the sky by photography, British observatories undertook the photography of approximately quarter the sky. This paper describes the contribution to the Astrographic Programme of these observatories and of other British establishments that subsequently offered to participate in the project.
