Letter to the Cultural Affairs Officer of Boada
Dear Mayor or Cultural Affairs Officer of Boada
We are contacting you to offer completely free of charge a new website for old photos of Boada.
It is likely that your locality already has one or more traditional or social media pages where old images of Boada 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 Boada, 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 Boada, on the same page, those of the nearest localities will appear Retortillo, Sancti Spíritus, Villavieja de Yeltes, Cojos de Robliza and Matilla de los Caños del Río
- The images of Boada 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 Boada 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 Boada. And at no cost.
From your institution in Boada you have two ways to be part of this wonderful project:
- Helping residents digitize images from your own organization and uploading them to Oldpik with your own user account.
- Encouraging the residents of Boada through social networks to digitize their photos and share them on the Boada page of Oldpik.com
