Letter to the Cultural Affairs Officer of Pereira

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

It is likely that your locality already has one or more traditional or social media pages where old images of Pereira 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 Pereira, 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 Pereira, on the same page, those of the nearest localities will appear Manizales, Pueblo Rico, Ibagué, Tuluá and El Edén
• The images of Pereira 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 Pereira 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 Pereira. And at no cost.

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