Most photographic collections whether in a museum or held privately should be stored in an environment of controlled humidity and light for archival longevity, otherwise they will fade and/or degrade and be lost for future generations to see. Due to this fact, old photographs in their original form should not be permanently on view - The internet is a perfect medium to remedy this issue.

This site is a large ongoing project with new material being added from contributors and also from the author's own collection. I encourage anyone who has any information on any of the pictures shown to email me, I will be grateful for your comments. oldphoto@cwgsy.net
