The aim of this website is to provide cheaper versions of rare historic images that can be used in other media such as websites or books. The emphasis is on topography and local history so the images provide a valuable resource to genealogists and researchers. Images are taken from acquired photographic collections, old postcards, slides, glass plate negatives etc. To augment these, recent digital photographs are also offered. These also concentrate on topography and local history but other topics are covered.

The above Edwardian image of Cradley Heath is an extremely rare postcard. It could take years to find a copy at a postcard fair, antiques show, auction etc. However, this image is on offer on this site at a fraction of the price you would have to traditionally pay. If you were lucky to find an example in good condition you would have to spend at least £75 - perhaps even £120. On Digital Photographic Images a large 810 pixel image [almost twice the size of above sample] of this photograph is on offer at £14. You not only save yourself the hard task of finding such a rare image you also potentially save £106 and can then use the picture on your own website or include it in a local history book.

I will always consider your images for inclusion on the website - providing, of course, that you own the copyright for them. You can offer old or contemporary images and when they are downloaded by other members I will pay you an extremely fair price each and every time. If you own images that prove to have a high demand you could be onto a 'nice little earner'. Please e-mail me if you would like to feature your images on Digital Photographic Images.
