Oregon State Library – Dating Old Photos

max — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:24:55 +0000

Mark your calendar, on July 9th I have been asked to talk at the Oregon State Library about “Dating an Old Photo”. A few years ago I spoke on the same subject to this group and we had a bunch of fun. The participants are encouraged to bring their own older photos which the group and I will review for details about the date of the photo, age of the subject, clothing, socio-economic status and any specific details we can glean. I think they allow guests, but give them a call.

Best to call about reservations – Limited seating!

July 9th, Oregon State Library, Room 103, 11:00-12:00

Looking for an approximate date for this cabinet size photo measuring roughly 4.25x 6.50, no photographer’s name and has rounded edges. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Probably taken in Rockland, ME.

Kimble writes, “I am attempting to discover who this lady is. I am guessing that she is a friend of the family from Harrison County, Missouri.” Any comments for Kimble?
