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