Treasure trove offers glimpse of town past

A fascinating series of images provides a peep into Northleach's past.


The haul was compiled by 88-year-old Enid Sly, who has lived in the town all her life.
Never afraid to embrace new technology, Mrs Sly also acts as narrator on a new DVD entitled A Personal History of Northleach, A Small Medieval Cotswold Town.

Compiled by Peter and Ruth Dawson, from Northleach Historical Society, of which Mrs Sly was a founder member, the two-hour personal glimpse into the past has been selling fast.

For more information, call Mr Dawson on 01451 860468

Photos Of Old New York

The Museum of the City of New York has released a treasure trove of old New York City photographs on its website. Sadly, perusing them isn't very easy over there—or as Kottke noted, "the interface is a little hinky." You've probably seen photographs from their featured photographers before (who include Berenice Abbott and Jacob Riis)

A rep for the museum tells us, "This is intended to be the soft launch and we’re planning a period of time during which we collect feedback. We’ll re-launch a new version of the database sometime early in the new year. It’s a work in progress and people can send comments on the site to collections@mcny.org."

What is rephotography?

Rephotography is the act of taking a new version of an existing photograph to create a "then and now" view of a location. The two images can then be compared, highlighting what has changed and what has remained the same.

Scotland's ever-changing scenery

BBC News Website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12019593

In Scotland, the landscape is one of our great resources - whether for tourism, agriculture or industry. It has shaped the Scottish nation and, for all it appears a great wilderness, much of it has been shaped by us.

To illustrate this online, we used rephotography - the act of taking a new version of an existing photograph - to create a "then and now" view of a location. The two images can then be compared, highlighting what has changed and what has remained the same - select one of the six scenes below and use the slider to see the same view through the ages.

The day Niagara Falls ran dry - previously unseen photos

It's taken 41 years, but a previously unseen set of photos of the mighty Niagara Falls reduced to nothing more than a barren cliff-top have finally surfaced.
The stark images reveal North America's iconic - and most powerful - waterfall to be almost as dry as a desert.
In June 1969, U.S. engineers diverted the flow of the Niagara River away from the American side of the falls for several months.

Reunite your Photos the old fashioned way!

One of the quickest and most affordable ways to start sharing your old photographs is to have them professionally scanned and transferred to a DVD.

According to the National Statistics Office over 85% of households own at least one DVD player. This means that just about everyone, young and old, will know how to use one which makes it the perfect device for displaying and sharing those old family photographs. The recent popularity of the Digital Photo Frame suggests that we should all start to turn our TV's into a big digital photo frame and enjoy our photos even more.

A DVD can hold hundreds of your photographs and slides which makes it the ideal way to send copies of your photos and albums to family, relatives and friends to watch on their own TV’s or PC’s and even have prints of their own made.

It’s quite simple, especially for those who either aren’t comfortable using a computer scanner or don’t have the time to do it. Professional digital photo scanning can convert several photo albums worth of pictures into digital copies and DVD's quickly and inexpensively.

Scanning and transferring your entire old photo or slide collection to DVD is a perfect way to create a lasting photo legacy. 

Photos Reunited can transfer all of your old photos and slides to DVD and will also upload a copy to your own Photos Reunited online album as a permanent back-up.  Visit the Photos Reunited website for more details. www.photosreunited.com
