Have you PNG slides/photos of historical interest languishing in the bottom drawer ?

  • Aerial shots of places,

  • Pre Independence people groups,

  • PNG National shots prior to Western influence,

  • Events, etc .

Drag them out and get the mould off them. Scan them on to a CD. Enlist a family member if scanning your slides/photos and burning them to a CD is beyond your skill level.

Naming your photo files :
When you have scanned your slide/photo, save your photo file with a descriptive name.
eg : District_Commissioners_Conference_May_1956.jpg - NOT Photo1032.jpg
(Note : Spaces removed or replaced with underscores and in jpg file format.)
and we will publish your efforts with due accreditation.

We are trying to assemble a definitive electronic photo library of early PNG before this information gets lost in time.
