Thank you for your comment. It must have been quite a surprise for you to see your father's grave. We would like to know more about your father's experience of living in Wales; what was his job, was he born here or did he emigrate from elsewhere?

What a wonderful story! You can create an account on the People's Collection and then upload the photographs to the site. I'm certain that your fathers customers or his apprentices and their families will love to see your photographs. If you want further information on how to contribute to the People's collection or scanning your photos please use the contact form. The link to it is at the bottom of the page (under General Information).

Look forward to seeing your photos on the People's Collection. Don't make your photo's too small. I would suggest a size of 750 - 1000 pixels along the longest side. For example, where the width is the longest resize that to between 750-1000 pixels,

The photograph from the Jewish Cemetery was taken by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments. All the content on the site has been contributed by institutions and the public. In our case (Culturenet) we uploaded content from smaller museums and libraries who would not otherwise have had access to scanners. We scanned their collections and then uploaded the content originally to www.gtj.org.uk and later to the people's collection. Cullturenet is based in the National Library of Wales who is one of the partners in charge of the People's Collection. Hope that answers your question.

From RCAHMW - we appreciated your comments and are very glad that the photograph was useful. Clicking on 'view it on their website' will give you to more information and tell you how you can order a higher resolution copy of the photograph. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales records archaeological and historic sites, buildings and landscapes in Wales, particularly under-represented and under-recognised elements of our heritage or those which are nationally or regionally important examples of their type. This cemetery is one of c. 30 cemeteries in Wales recorded under this remit. Also one of the partners for this website, we have contributed nearly 6000 items and stories and will continue to add content from our digitised collections.
