My guest is James Morley, a UK based photo historians who’s created a very cool World War 1 resource called A Street Near You.
What is A Street Near You? It explores the local legacy of the First World War. Photos of individuals who died in the war are pinned to a map with data.
We discuss how he created the site, and how users can make the most of it.
There are currently five sources from which the information is pulled: Lives of the First World War, The Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery, Imperial War Museum Collections, War Memorials Register and the Bond of Sacrifice.
I'm thrilled to be offering something new. Photo investigations. These collaborative one-on-one sessions. Look at your family photos then you and I meet to discuss your mystery images. And find out how each clue and hint might contribute to your family history. Find out more by going to maureentaylor.com and clicking on family photo investigations.
