> Hello Mike . In the Nov. Edition of FAMILY TREE magazine, on page 63,
there is an interesting article titled "The Documentary Photography Archive"
by Audrey LINKMAN. She is the curator of this archive in Manchester. Its
housed at the GREATER MANCHESTER COUNTY RECORD OFFICE, and she is there
every Tuesday to help & advise people about their old photographs. She can
be contacted c/o 7 Townscroft Lane, Bolton, Lancs. BL1 5EW Telephone
01204 840439. She also recommends some books.
If you can't get the magazine any more, your local library might have it.
Hope this is of help to you, and any other Listers with photographs of
mysterious ancestors. > Best wishes, Genny.
