The Archive Project

The Archive Project "Follow" for more old photos --> It's a delight to have this place to share them all with you!

When our parents passed away unexpectedly, we inherited thousands of old photos our family had been keeping dating back to 1855! We'd always been interested in history, storytelling, and all the curious, wild, and amazing things that have happened on this earth! We found a love for preserving the past through these old photos, and then trying to capture the unique sense of purpose and meaning peop

le in them had. We're trained in the sciences, mainly, but find most of our weekends spent in "the archives" managing the 100K+ old photos we now have in our collection. We appreciate your being here, and always give us a hello or feel free to introduce yourself in the comments!

We love this story: After flour companies realized mothers were making dresses out of the flour bags, they began patterning the bags to do their part! That's when we all pulled together!

"I had to have company -- I was made for it, I think -- so I made friends with the animals. They are just charming, and they have the kindest disposition and the politest ways; they never look sour, they never let you feel that you are intruding, they smile at you and wag their tail, if they've got one, and they are always ready for a romp or an excursion or anything you want to propose."
