Mahone Bay Museum in Nova Scotia needs help identifying photos of people taken in the late 1800s, early 1900s, and during World War II. Museum curator Lyne Allain has been going through hundreds of the photos to identify and date them, but some remain a mystery as to who is in the photo and when and where it was taken.
According to a CTV News report, Ms. Allain has “compiled a list of what she calls ‘mystery photos,’ many of which are more than a century old and depict daily life, like shipbuilding and even the town’s 1933 high school hockey team.”
Mahone Bay Museum needs help identifying these men and people in other historical photos. Tintype photo taken in c1880. Mahone Bay Museum Photo Collection, accession #06.4.2.4.
The museum would like to hear from people who think they recognize the people and places in the mystery photos. Contact them by email at info@mahonebaymuseum.com with the photo’s accession number and any information regarding the people, location, or date of the photographs.
The captioned and mystery photos can be viewed on the museum’s website.
