Thank you for visiting my page. :-)
I am a passionate collector and preserver of vintage photographs, especially those taken in Australia. I think the best form of preservation is reproduction and these images need to be shared throughout the community for family historians and other researchers. Some photos are from my private collection but I also collect the digital images of photos and postcards that I find for sale on eBay. The quality of the photo may not be very good in some cases but better to have that than no image at all. Many of the dates on the images are estimated, so please tell me if you think the date is incorrect. I am always appreciative of help.
I also collect photos of Australian servicemen, particularly from the First World War, and I add their portrait to their service records with the Virtual War Memorial as a means of honouring them. In many cases I am relying on the identification of the soldier by the ebay seller, but sometimes I have found them to be incorrect. If you are concerned about any of the IDs of these men, please let me know as I would like to do further research to get the information accurate.
Images taken prior 1955 are out of copyright and in the Public Domain.
Also, in Australia, the fair dealing exception allows people to use copyrighted material for the purposes of:
research or study;
criticism or review;
parody or satire; or.
reporting news.
As of mid 2025, there have been 30 million views of my images.

Kaye's interests indeed are broad, from culture and history to art and to the natural world. Her passion for collecting old photographs and her dedicated research have enabled accurate and informative titling and very interesting descriptive text. Add to this her commendable photo restoration skills and the result is a vast and steadily growing collection of old and important historical images that otherwise may never have seen the light of day. Nevertheless this photostream is just not all historical images, her interest in the modern world means that something new and interesting turns up every day here.
