Post subject: Internet Links to old Poland Photos - Post Them Here
I LOVE old photos of Poland, especially when they show people and give me a glimpse of life in old Poland! I like to do google searches with the words "starych zdjęć" - but I'd like to know if there is a better way to say "old photos" in Polish.
If you know of any sites with old photos, please post the link here.
Please post links ony (not photos that you have found on the internet)
I found these today:

Shellie,
You can try: "stare zdjęcia", "stare fotografie", "zdjęcia naszych przodków", "fotografie naszych przodków" (in general, "zdjęcia" and "fotografie" can be used interchangeably), "stare pocztówki" (postcards), "zdjęcia/pocztówki z XIX wieku", "stare zdjęcia/pocztówki miasta".
You can also try google translate to find Polish phrases translated into English.
Have a pleasant hunting

THANK YOU JOZEFS! These are great sites. I can't believe how many photos there are for all of the Polish villages and towns. For members like me who can't read Polish, here is the link to each site with the google translation option. Remember that this will also translate the town names, but you can hold your cursor over the translated town name to see the original Polish name.

A Polish friend showed me a great website with old photos from around the world. I believe it is in Ukrainian, but I used google translate to view all of the topics. Here is the link to "Poland 1932 color photographs. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors"

I've posted 2 of my favorites below with the translated captions from the website.
