This is an interesting site on how to identify the date of an old photo. It is wonderful in that you can look at actual images from the 1840's-1900. It is valuable because you can see what type clothing or hairstyle your ancestors might have worn in a certain time period as well as having photos for you to look at to help determine what year yours might have been taken.
