Letter to the Cultural Affairs Officer of Velika Gorica

We are contacting you to offer completely free of charge a new website for old photos of Velika Gorica.

It is likely that your locality already has one or more traditional or social media pages where old images of Velika Gorica 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 Velika Gorica, 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 Velika Gorica, on the same page, those of the nearest localities will appear Petruševec, Donji grad, Brezovica na Bizeljskem, Ravno Brezje and Starigrad
• The images of Velika Gorica 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 Velika Gorica 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 Velika Gorica. And at no cost.

From your institution in Velika Gorica 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 Velika Gorica through social networks to digitize their photos and share them on the Velika Gorica page of Oldpik.com
