What a great idea!!! I think many of us have been in the sitution where we have old photos and not much more information to go on. I've been combing through my home town directories and gazetteers for info on photographers to see when they were in business to see if that would help narrow the timeframe during which the photograph was taken. I decided recently to put the analysis I've done on my website. It only covers a very small geographical area compared to the world but perhaps it will help someone else. I haven't put up all the info yet (everything in my life seems to be a 'work in progress' <g>) but if you want to add a link on your page to the photographers section of my site, that would be great. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tracefamilytree/locales/Kansas/Kansas .html#PHOTOGRAPHY Thanks for all your efforts, Susie _____________________________________________________ S u s a n H a s t i n g s **** Surnames: H A S T I N G S ~ W E L L S praeda@aol.com The "other" OZ, USA > X-Message: #1 > Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 16:42:05 -0500 > From: "Fraser Dunford" <fraser.dunford@sympatico.ca> > To: VINTAGE-PHOTOS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [VINTAGE-PHOTOS] Website for finding photographers > > Last March I had indicated to the group that I would attempt to > set up a website to reference other sites and books that would help > in finding when and where a particular photographer worked. > I now have that site, or at least the beginnings of it.
