I'm currently trying to put faces to names and deliving through old family photographs.

I have some photos taken at Roth's Garden Studio, Onchan Head in the 1920s or 1930s (typical post card types) and was wondering what sort of a collection is held at the Museum. Initially I'm thinking about studio photographers in the late 1800s through to the middle of the 20th century. (I know there was a photographer near the bottom of Prospect Hill in the 1950s and think this was established for some time as my father recalled 'the family' having various photos taken there - though they've disappeared over time).

Has anyone out there explored this? If so I'd be interested to know some details of what's available as I'm planning to spend a few days researching this later in the month. Thanks.
