PastPix - The Source for Historical Images
Pastpix are at the forefront of digitally restoring vintage images and
preparing them for use on the Internet.
The fields of expertise covered by
our team of specialists include not only the latest digital imaging
techniques, but also the traditional methods used for the archiving and
conservation of photographic images.
Our software engineers, who created our unique interrogation system, are
constantly modifying and improving the site for the benefit of our users,
whilst our picture researchers are acquiring new images to expand the
Pastpix collection to cover most aspects of life from the middle of the 19th
century onwards. The collection itself has been compiled over the last three
decades.
The Pastpix team spent over two years preparing the collection for use on
our website which opened in 2001 with fifteen thousand images for educational use.
We are adding to this at regular intervals and it is our intention to make the
whole of the vast collection available over a period of time, together with
any further images acquired through our ongoing research programme.
