I’m looking for Hays-Price-Wilcox photo’s, including period photo’s of locations, for digital storage as part of the Hays history and possibly for restoration.
I’m also looking to positively identify the persons and location in this restored photo. Indications are it’s from the 1930’s and I suspect it is my father front and center, most likely in Oklahoma.
Regardless of condition you can scan the photo by placing it in the center of your scanner and scan as a TIFF in 600dpi attach it to an email to jimhays@americanman.org with the information on it that you know. If I decide to get it professionally restored I’ll send you a digital copy of the enhanced photo. See the Photo Restoration Center web page for information on restorations should you want to send in a photo direct to them for full restoration (and share the restored digital copy with us!).
If you can part with the original (or have duplicates) you can send them to me at 614 Shellstone Rd., Amsterdam NY 12010 (valid address until at least June 2019).
I intend to add the photo’s to the web site AmericanMan.org and memorialize the Hays, and connected families, as part of the American experience. The more I research the more I am impressed at the contributions we have made to making America.
I also have photo’s of people I do not know and I’ll be posting those as I scan them to see if anyone can identify them or wants the original.
As always, questions, comments, and criticisms can be emailed to me.
