Become a Picture Ipswich PI (Photo Investigator)

Help us to build the collection and enrich our knowledge of Ipswich history.

Desperate & Dateless - Show your love for Picture Ipswich and figure out when these photos were taken.

Dude, What's My Car? - Can you tell the difference between a Holden and a Ford?  If yes, you can help us to identify the makes and models of the many cars we have in the collection.

Ipswich General Cemetery - There are over 32,000 stories to be told at the cemetery. Can you help us to make a start by transcribing headstones? 

Manuscripts - There is a skill to reading old handwriting.  If you are in possession that skill, put it to good use by transcribing this collection.

What's the Story? - Discover the story behind the photograph and bring the lifetime epics of Ipswich into the digital age. 

What's My Team? - Identifying one sports team from the next is not easy in Black & White. Help us to tell the difference between one jersey and the next.

Where in Ipswich? - Pinpointing the exact spot a photo was taken from will give you an adrenaline rush only an armchair detective can experience. Help us map Ipswich's history by Geotagging photographs. 

Who Do You Think I Am? - Over time, photos fade and names are forgotten.  Can you recognise the faces of Ipswich?  Tag friends and family as you recognise them in the collection.

If memories are evoked as you fall through the rabbit-hole of Picture Ipswich, you can record your Recollections, ensuring that your stories become part of the archival record of our photos, videos, documents, and histories.  

If you see a mistake (we do occasionally get things wrong), or if you know more of the story, you can Suggest an Edit.

Picture Ipswich accepts historical and contemporary images.  You can help to build our knowledge of the City, but uploading images to Picture Ipswich.
