HOWEVER:
We no longer provide studio dates and addresses for dating your family photographs as these alone can sometimes be mis-leading and inconclusive. Photograph dating is now provided only via our DIY Photo Dating Wizard or our Custom Dating service – for more information please click here.
Please note: we do not hold
- the records/day books of any photographer; therefore we cannot identify the person in your photograph from a reference number written on your photograph mount
- the negatives of any photographer; therefore we cannot provide copies of other family photographs taken at the same time as a photograph that you may already have in your possession
- the original stock of photographs of any photographer.
A charge is made for some of our services to help maintain the archive. Thank you.
For further information, please contact us.
