One of my favorite parts of my family history research is looking at old photographs of my family. I don't have
alot of them that are pre-1900--in fact, most of the photos I have were taken in the 1930s. Still I feel fortunate
to have been the one who was given my Grandmother's scrapbooks when she passed on. They contained
many notes clippings and photographs about a time period which I did not experience first hand.
Hopefully, these links will be useful to help you find out information about the different types of
photographs and how you can figure out the time period in which they were taken.

Dealers
The following are dealers who buy and sell old photographs. I am not
associated with them in any way. I have included them on this page as feel that their sites contain some great examples of the different types of photos as well as some history which would be useful in dating a photograph.
