Would you like to share any of your historical photographs or pictures with visitors to Pant Today?
Lots of people are interested in local history and their ancestry, with genealogists across the world searching online to find out about their family tree and where their descendents came from.
There are already, of course, many photos of Pant available in leaflets and books and it would be nice for more of them to be online and freely available for people to view. That’s why we’d like to develop an online gallery of images from Pant over the ages. We can caption any photos submitted and also credit the photographer, if known.
It would especially be interesting to see if we can find photographs from ‘workers’ in the village. Often, it is easier to find photos of buildings and landscapes than it is to find photographs and descriptions from the people that actually make up the village. Before the digital age this was especially true for more ‘menial’ trades, as the silver halide photography of the time was very expensive and so ‘saved’ for important occasions. Therefore, if we can find any photographs of local Pant people, it would be great to save them for posterity.
If you only have prints of your photos, don’t worry as we should be able to help you scan them so that they can be uploaded to Pant Today. Just let us know. Please fill in the contact form here, and we will be in touch. Please remember to include a contact number.
