Letter to the Cultural Affairs Officer of Altayskiy Kray

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

It is likely that your locality already has one or more traditional or social media pages where old images of Altayskiy Kray 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 Altayskiy Kray, 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 Altayskiy Kray, on the same page, those of the nearest localities will appear Sadovodov, Barnaul, Bol’shaya Krivoshchëkova, Chapayevo and Semipalatinskaya
• The images of Altayskiy Kray 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 Altayskiy Kray 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 Altayskiy Kray. And at no cost.

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