Coty's Treasures began several years ago under the name of Old Photos Galore
(or "OPG") which started out as a small collection of original photographs
and postcards and has since grown into a large, private archival collection
of old photographs and documents. We are dedicated to the rescue and proper
preservation of old snapshots, photos, portrait & group photographs from
that we acquire from various sources. Coty's Treasures also recovers
old letters, postcards, documents, photo albums, scrapbooks and
yearbooks, among many other old personal possessions.
Often times, these artifacts are identifiable by name and
location. It is our goal to make available family heirlooms that may
have otherwise been lost. This service is intended to provide unique
images to those descendants and relatives (of the photo subjects)
who may be interested in family items which cannot be found in the
usual genealogical resource centers such as libraries or cemeteries.
Note that most photograph items we offer are reprints, not originals;
although we will sell originals from time to time. The reason we sell
reprints rather than originals is that as scanning/copying technology
improves, we will use the original photographic images to make the
best quality copy reprints possible. In addition, by serving as an
independent archive, Coty's Treasures makes all items available to
all interested parties, related or not.
