Sites on Cambridgeshire Photographers Mike Petty's site on Cambridgeshire Photographers www.cambridgeshirehistory.com/MikePetty/Photographers.html Mike's checklist is repeatedly cited on this site. His listing is more extensive than this site in that he lists many amateur photographers whose work has been preserved by the Cambridgeshire Collection, while this site lists those photographers whose names and details are more likely to be found on their surviving work, and who may be of greater interest to family and local historians. Also this site covers the whole of the present Cambridgeshire, while Mike's concentrates on the smaller historic County.
