Waterbury Photographers

Waterbury photographers may help unravel a genealogical mystery. More than once, individuals have become family historians when they come into possession of an old family photograph or group of photographs. Unfortunately, the names, dates, and occasions aren't always obvious and so they're left to do some detective work to identify the details of the image captured years earlier.

For formal portraits, a photographers mark can often be found on the photo frame or the print itself. Those with a large collection of photographs will recognize names, but others may not immediately know a particular studio was from Waterbury. This section is an attempt to collect and share details about the many studios that were in Waterbury since the late 1800's. If you worked at one of these studios or have special knowledge of the photo studios in Waterbury between 1900-1940, please contact us. Your knowledge could be a great asset to share with othes through this website.
