victorian photos

[jakky]

Would anyone tell me how to share a box of 265 victorian photos with everyone on this site.

some are named and dated all have photographers name and addresses on the back.They measure about 4x2.
I bought them at auction and they must be useful to someone.

What a lovely thing to do & suggest jakky. I hope you manage to link some of them up with their families.

Thats a lovely picture you posted.  Maybe someone may even be able to estimate the period and find them on the census, especially if have addresses as well as names.

Hi Jakky,

What a true find to have found the lovely photographs and their addesses.

What a nice thought to try and re-unite them with their modern day family.

Perhaps if you are able to list their names and addresses in someway people can pick up on this information.

Regards

Sarah

Jakky,
      I;m so surprised that you have had few answers to this post, maybe because the first thought of anyone reading it was as mine very selfish.
      But to put some serious thought into it, why not scan and post a few of them at frequent intervals - then my own thought would be to make up a   suitable web album so that everyone can benefit. In the meantime (256 pics would take quite some time to scan and post at a few each week) it would give you time to think about what to do with your pics - they would probably be worth  a sum of money to you, or you may wish to have the mounted in a proper album.

Hi Jakky,

Do you have any details on the back of that one - my sister in laws family name was Gibbs from Norfolk - not come across a Polly yet  - but you never know.
I think there are lots of Gibbs around Hickling - I have found 19 and only just started on them!!

Cheers

Hi Jakky,
I hadn't replied yet because I was trying to think of what you could do with them!  It's a lovely idea you've had, wanting to share this pictures with the community - I always feel sad when I see unclaimed photos, especially ones without names to them 

As denn has suggested it would be an idea to post a few at a time, and/or start a web album with them all on.  Perhaps Trystan would agree to supply a webspace for this?  ALternatively, or as well, or in the interim, perhaps those which have information on you could transcribe and post.  People are more likely  to recognise a name than a face, and could then ask for a scan.

Happy to join in further discussions about possibilities for this project!
Cheers

        Maybe to go along with the photo's that may go in any album, Prue may be so kind as to write a paragraph or two on the history of photo' types and styles.

Dear Jakky - I for one would really appreciate seeing all the photos you have on Rootschat. Over time of course. I have a great love of the Victorian photos - and who knows - one of my relatives may be in that wonderful cache. The one of Polly was lovely.
