Image resources for 1800s
Posted In
Description
Hello,
I was wondering if there are any online resources available for pictures/photos/images in the 1800's. It could be in newspapers or other online archives. I figure it's a stretch, but worth asking. One of the locations I'm focusing on at present is Háje/Příbram, but later it won't be scoped to just there...so I figured I should ask more broadly and incase it benefits others. Ideally I could potentially find pictures of ancestors or locations of events.
Thank you for any insights you can provide and your time.

Hello Randy,
The Europeana.eu has various items online at https://www.europeana.eu/en . In addition, the Czech and Moravian regional archives have their own links to postcards and other art images on their websites. Here is one you can try, under Archival Records, then pick up your Archival Type on the left https://ebadatelna.soapraha.cz/pages/SearchArchivaliePage?9
A few years ago, I wrote a blog about Vedute (in Czech, Veduty) - if possibly you would be interested in these painted or graphic pictures, as well. Here is the blog which contains the link to Vedute in various Czech archives https://cgsi.org/blog/czech-and-slovak-vedute .
In addition, the communities post their own old images and postcards on their own websites and social media. Find your places and explore them, check their history links, and links to their social media presence.. https://mesta.obce.cz/.
Hopefully, it helps. I welcome any other input. Thank you. Iveta at YveGen
