Obligation to Share Genealogy Photos
Back in the early days of photography, there really wasn't such a thing as double-prints Tuesdays. It didn't exactly work like that. These photos of our ancestors, if they survive today, they're really one-of-a-kind. These ancestors have a lot of progeny though, a lot of descendants who'd LOVE to have a copy of these photos. Don't the possessors of these photos have a certain obligation to share these photos with the other descendants? With today's imaging technology, the photos can easily be scanned and shared via email or through a photo-sharing site.
Some interesting sites for vintage family photos, made to either help identify or share images of ancestors or genealogical importance are:
Ancestor Archive - A genealogy database built to share photos of your ancestors with you - just come here to search, maybe you can put some faces to the names and dates you've been collecting. You can also post old images you've come across at flea markets, etc., although that seems like a long shot.
Miscellaneous Genealogy Photos Needing ID - This is a site someone put up to kind of help identify those odd photos you have yet have no clue as to who the people are. This is the kind of site that each of us could probably have.
