Reminiscene's photostream

Originally formed in 1995, my website, Reminiscene, was an amalgamation of two vintage photograph and postcard websites, AncestralPast and Bygone Britain. At the time, my collection of photographs and postcards, most of which were rescued from antique shops and collector fairs, was quite small. Now, the collection numbers well over 1,000 items and continues to grow.

Although I placed my vintage postcards online purely so that others could enjoy them, it has always been my aim to return photographs of people to proven descendants.

Unfortunately, I have recently found that I no longer have as much time as I would like to be able to devote to Reminiscene. I have therefore reluctantly decided to close the website in December 2011 when the domain name falls due for renewal. I will instead use my blog at reminiscene1.blogspot.com to post about postcard-related matters and to add photographs I hope to be able to return to their rightful families. Those photographs will also be added to my Flickr photostream.

If you can prove descent from any of those featured in the photographs, please contact me.
