Please Advise - Belfast Photo Studio's

[Glenavy Lad]

I have received within the last couple of weeks, five photo Albums, dating back to mid-late 1800S, but no names on any of the people in the pictures.

All of the studios have Belfast addresses, but unfortunately none are still around to-day.

Can anyone please advise if there is anywhere were I can get any information on "old" studios?  Is it likely that records may be held somewhere?  Public records office?

Thanks

I have opened a new topic - Links - Ulster Museum. You may find information about photographers there.
Both PRONI and the Ulster Museum have information on Belfast photographers. The Museum have collections of R. J. Welch (1859 - 1936) and A. R. Hogg (1870 - 1939) PRONI have H. F. Cooper of Strabane; the Allison Family of Armagh, Dundalk, Newry and Warrenpoint and W. R. Henderson of Newtownstewart.
