Eight Antique Photo Albums and Individual Lost and Found Photographs 

Some where on this planet are the descendants of the people in the following vintage scrapbooks

and it could be you!  

Photos Made Perfect is making an effort to return lost antique photo albums to their descendants. We are hopeful and prefer to find the descendants of this book, with that said, if someone shows an interest in these photo for any other reason than genealogy, we will consider the opportunity to make better use of them. This applies especially to the photo albums that did not have names tied to them, making next to impossible to return to the descendents.  

These photographs are interesting for many reasons.  You may be searching for a surname that may be in these books.  They are an opportunity to study for photographic styles, an interest to costume designers and home decorators.  These books are a collection of cabinet cards and tintypes.  Teachers can direct students to this site, to see why or how we know so much about times past, by studying photographs.  They are useful for photo dating as well. You may be interested in finding photos by a particular photographer from the 1800"s to help you with photo dating.  We listed the names of photographers and their addresses found on the backs of these photos. Many of the images have names and dates on them.  Give us a call. 619-397-7600. If you are looking for a specific subject give us a call, we just might have what your looking for in our archives not shown on this site.

Any one that has found photographs and would like to display them here, are welcome.  If someone contacts us about a photo you placed, we will will give them your contact information.  Just e-mail us the photo, give us your contact information and tell us anything you can about the photo would be helpful.
