Letter to the Cultural Affairs Officer of Sheridan
Dear Mayor or Cultural Affairs Officer of Sheridan
We are contacting you to offer completely free of charge a new website for old photos of Sheridan.
It is likely that your locality already has one or more traditional or social media pages where old images of Sheridan 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 Sheridan, 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 Sheridan, on the same page, those of the nearest localities will appear Sheridan, Big Horn, Dayton, Hyattville and Lovell
- The images of Sheridan 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 Sheridan 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 Sheridan. And at no cost.
From your institution in Sheridan 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 Sheridan through social networks to digitize their photos and share them on the Sheridan page of Oldpik.com
