How many of you have lots of old negatives, and what are the subjects?

Question

I have built a video box to have a quick look at 1000's of old negs B/W and colour. They go back to the 1920's. Photos even my parents never knew they had as in those days printing was expensive and only a few were printed the rest of the negs being put away and forgoten.
Most of the early subjects were general views but the later ones tend to be weddings and babies. I only hope in that order!

Answer 1

I have loads of negatives too, I have also come across an old Kodak film, not been developed and don't know where I would be able to get it done now, I have tried in the past to get it developed and no one seems to do old films now, must be over 40years old. my negatives are of holidays and parties

Answer 2

I have my own negatives and slides, but they only go back to the late 70s. I have copies of old family negatives, mostly portraits. I come from a very large family, and I have siblings who won't part with the originals, even though they don't know how to properly store them.

My father took lots of slides when we were growing up. I got copies of some of them. In my favorites, I was about 2 or 3, sitting on the front steps with one or my sisters, wearing a frilly dress. My dad's old slides were mostly of us kids. My kids get a kick out of seeing the old cars in the pictures. They told me they're jealous that I grew up when cars were cool.

Answer 3

I have loads, most of family , friends, special occasions. I did have lots of black & white of my mum & dad, but my ex's new girlfriend, dumped them in a skip without telling him, so I no longer have the photo's or negs, I was devestated.

Answer 4

I have lots of old negatives. They are mostly of people I have known or places I have seen.
