5th Anniversary of the Old Family Photographs Website

Five years ago this week the Old Family Photographs website was launched! The website was established to preserve and share the large collections old family photographs that are in my care. Many of the photographs belonged to my great grandmothers. We are very fortunate to have a large collection of old family photographs.

The old family photographs website is housed under the MB Boutiques Brand. To navigate to the old family photo collections select Reproduction Photography < Family Photo Collections from the top navigation bar.

Over the last five years the site has grown to house over 730 old family photographs and family documents. The documents include post cards, hand written notes, letters and newspaper clippings. The content is housed in thirteen different collections.

The collections currently available include:

• The Military Collection
• The Bukowski Collection 
• The Guth Collection 
• The Haggerty Collection
• The Holtz Collection
• The McDonald Collection 
• The Murosky Collection
• The O'Neill Collection
• The Selker Collection 
• The Zelazny Collection 
• Arthur & Mary Eugenia
• The Unknown Collection
• The Postcard Collection

Many of the photographs featured belonged to my great grandmothers Helen Bukowski and Frances Philomena Selker. Over the last five years other family members have been very generous and have donated photographs to be incorporated into the family collections. I am so incredibly thankful to those who have shared their photographs so that we may preserve the memory of our ancestors.

One of the new additions to the site has been newspaper clippings of wedding announcements and newspaper articles highlighting Clarion, Pennsylvania based Selker family in the early 1900's.

To learn more about the work to setup the website and prepare the photographs for sharing please visit the Portraits of a Life section. Portraits of a Life is a project to digitize, archive, restore and share the large collection family photographs that are in my care.
