While old family photographs are much treasured by genealogists, these irreplaceable images are lost each year by either being discarded or sold. GenealogyMagazine.com serves as a clearinghouse of “lost” family photographs by posting scanned images of rescues from antique stores, flea markets, and estate sales.

Each images includes a reference number, name of the person or place, the date and location (if known), and the caption or identification as it appears on the original. In some instances, additional information has been added from other sources.

Photographs are indexed below by surname or subject.
