I have several old postcard-sized hard-card photos from the late 19th century era of relatives but with no names written on the back. They were taken at a studio called Hevy, located on Main Street in Worcester and in Spencer, opposite the Depot, later called Warren Studios, also photos from a studio on Southbridge Street in Worcester called Thibert. I'm assuming these places have long since closed since I can't find anything on them on the internet. I'm wondering what happened to the negatives and copies of these photos, do they keep them archived somewhere and is there place to search or a way to find out who these people are?

Try the Worcester Historical Museum http://www.worcesterhistory.org/ They might be able to point you in the right direction if they don't have photographic collections. If you can't find the photos anywhere, I think you would have to track the businesses in the city directories, and newspapers, then see if you can find any descendants who may have the photos or know what happened to them.
