Reuniting genealogists with faces from the past...
Welcome to The Forgotten Photographs Project. Within our database, you will find hundreds of lost and discarded photographs from around the world. These photographs were collected from a number of sources; antique shops, flea markets, online auctions and estate sales, and put together into one searchable database. Each of our photographs is identified on the back and includes the county and state the picture was acquired from, in addition to any other identifying information we may have. Each week our database is updated with dozens of new photographs and remains free for everyone to use.
Feel free to explore, and when using our site, please remember that we are relying on the people who owned these beloved photographs and we are only assuming that the names and dates written on the back are correct. In addition, some of the handwriting on the photographs is difficult to read, and although we've made every effort to identify the pictures, we are in no way experts, and we too make mistakes! Always use your own judgement when you find a photograph that could be someone in your family tree. Good luck!
