Letter to the Cultural Affairs Officer of Grand Anse Mahe

Dear Mayor or Cultural Affairs Officer of Grand Anse Mahe

We are contacting you to offer completely free of charge a new website for old photos of Grand Anse Mahe.

It is likely that your locality already has one or more traditional or social media pages where old images of Grand Anse Mahe are already shown, but Oldpik offers innovations and advantages that we think may be of interest to you:

  • It is an open bank of images of Grand Anse Mahe, both residents and the City Council itself can send photographs.
  • The images appear with their description and date and can be sorted chronologically, by theme, or by upload date.
  • Following the photos of Grand Anse Mahe, on the same page, those of the nearest localities will appear Misere, Kismayo, Camp Yoloff, Miandrarivo and Samora Avenue
  • The images of Grand Anse Mahe will appear contextualized in higher geographic categories such as your province page, your autonomous community, your country and even continent or the entire world.

We are actually inviting Grand Anse Mahe to be part of the first bank of old images from around the world that has been created on the Internet. Oldpik does not aim to show famous old photographs but rather to transfer to the web the millions of photographs that citizens have in paper format in cookie or shoe boxes and that these become part of the history of the last two centuries. You cannot imagine the hundreds or thousands of photographs of your locality that are in the hands of individuals and that, together, can create a truly impressive historical heritage for Grand Anse Mahe. And at no cost.

From your institution in Grand Anse Mahe you have two ways to be part of this wonderful project:

  1. Helping residents digitize images from your own organization and uploading them to Oldpik with your own user account.
  2. Encouraging the residents of Grand Anse Mahe through social networks to digitize their photos and share them on the Grand Anse Mahe page of Oldpik.com
