I would suggest that you contact the Berks History Center there locally in Berks County. If they do not want the photographs, they should be able to steer you into the directions of a repository that would take them. Hope this helps. Thank You for reading my blog!Melissa Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14454781172214251902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361263046826593234.post-62319194002329632372018-04-24T07:29:17.656-07:002018-04-24T07:29:17.656-07:00A question about this.

I can't even recall what it had in it we were interested in...but in the box were also a number of family photos from decades ago (probably early 1900's). Many were identified, and all seems to be from locations and photographers in Berks County, PA. From time to time I've researched some of the folks in the photos to see if I can find ancestors who might be actively researching them. No luck so far. Anyway, I've wondered if I should donate them to an archive in Berks County, but I haven't been able to find anything which seems suitable. As an archivist, are you part of a network/organization that could give me some guidance about where to do/how to do this? Thanks.Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991923180743947967noreply@blogger.com
