Searching and Using the Catalogue
The photographs in the Salford and Cheetham Hill catalogue range in subject matter.
You can search through the Image Categories section, or you can also search for anything by typing a word or a phrase in. If your search gets no results, try widening your search, so instead of typing in, for e.g. your school name, just type school, to see all the photographs of the schools. Have a look at our list of places below to see how we’ve described the photographs to help you find what you’re looking for.
We would like to build up information about the photographs, so if you recognise anything without a description, or you see something incorrectly described, please get in touch. You can either add a comment on the memory book linked on all the records, or you can get in touch with the project team by emailing [email protected] or phoning 0161 848 8779.
Searching by dates
We have dated the photographs where we have information so you can search for a year, eg 1956. However we don’t know exactly when lots of the photographs were taken so we have recorded them as undated. If you recognise any of the photographs and know when they were taken please get in touch.
