Please note
- I no longer provide studio dates and addresses for dating family photographs as these alone can sometimes be inconclusive. Photograph dating is now provided only via my DIY Photo Dating Wizard or my Custom Dating service – for more information – click here
- I cannot identify the person in your photograph from a photographer’s reference number
- I cannot provide other family photographs taken at the same time as the photograph that you already have.
A charge is made for some of my services to help maintain the archive.
