Isn’t it amazing what you learn from people at local history meetings? I was invited by a member (our very own uacemac) to the Castleside History Society open evening a couple of days ago (that’s in County Durham UK for overseas viewers/readers). There was no official speaker booked this particular evening so the group projected a fascinating slide programme of old local photos which was looped throughout the meeting. There were more than a few

I’ve been thumbing through a very old book that I acquired almost 30 years ago. It has been lost and loaned out over that time and rediscovered only recently. The title is “An Historical, Topographical and Descriptive View of the County Palatine of Durham; Comprehending the Various Subjects of Natural, Civil, and Ecclesiastical Geography, Agriculture, Mines, Manufactures, Navigation, Trade, Commerce, Buildings, Antiques, Curiosities, Public Institutions, Charities, Population, Customs, Biography, Local History etc.” [...click on headline to read full story] December 7th, 2007 | Tags: castle, commonwealth, history of durham, houghton, manor, north east england, tyne, wear | Category: Latest News |

I was asked the other day, “How old should a photo be before it’s an old photo?”… good question. So I asked fellow members and the considered opinion is that since things change so rapidly (ie: local building developments, fashions and styles) then anything ten-years and over should be classified as an old photo. That’s fine by me. So, any photos you have that are ten-years old and more can quite happily be included in your galleries.

This is part of an original post from the forum, but it is equally relevant here.

If you have a few images to upload and you don’t want to spend half your life resizing each one individually in your photo

This is actually part of a post from the discussion board, but I thought I would reproduce it here for those people who have either missed the post or haven’t yet visited the forum… …Someone asked the other day about the best size to use for uploaded photos to the forum. The system is set up to accept nothing larger than a 2500 pixel dimensions (in either direction, upright or wide) but I find an
