Allison Photographic Collection

The first collection of PRONI images to be made available on Flickr are wedding and family group portraits taken by the Allison Photographic Studios, Armagh, between circa 1900 and 1955.
The photos are arranged in sets alphabetically by family name, or you can use the search box to search for a particular name - just make sure you are searching the PRONI Photostream and not the entire Flickr site!
