Letter to the Cultural Affairs Officer of Vatican City

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

It is likely that your locality already has one or more traditional or social media pages where old images of Vatican City 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 Vatican City, 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 Vatican City, on the same page, those of the nearest localities will appear Regola, Centro Storico, Ludovisi, Rome and Frascati
• The images of Vatican City 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 Vatican City 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 Vatican City. And at no cost.

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