The Bolton branch of MLFHS (http://www.mlfhs.org.uk/Bolton/) will hold its October meeting on Wednesday October 3rd 7.30pm at Bolton Cricket Club, Green Lane, Farnworth BL3 2JB. All are invited to attend. The meeting promises to be a particularly interesting one. Steve Gill, the nationally known photographer, will be talking about "Looking at the Past -- Preserving and Dating Old Photographs". He has asked for examples of old family photographs and plans to explain something about the the dating of these and to discuss the history of photography. He will also advise about preservation and the restoration of damaged prints. As usual, all are welcome and a Help Desk will be available for individual researchers after the meeting. All enquiries to Barbara Owen, Secretary, at 01204 309515. Note: Many thanks to fellow MLFHS member Jane M. for keeping us apprised of these meetings.
