This website's primary aim is to give anyone interested a chance to see images from the early years of photography and if they have an archive collection themselves or just doing research, a means of reference.

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.

To help pay for the ongoing running of this website, print orders from some of the images are welcome. Please see the PRICING INFORMATION heading for details.

High resolution digital files for commercial use are also available in certain circumstances- please email type of use and list the images of interest for pricing details to oldphoto@cwgsy.net.

I look forward to hearing from you.
