The Photos for the Future Campaign

The aim of Photos for the Future is to create a lasting visual record of Asian life over the past century.

In every home, there are some special photographs that have not just precious sentimental value but also possibly valuable historical significance. The History Channel has launched Photos for the Future as a key initiative to invite viewers across Asia to share these photographs and the unique personal stories behind them.

Whether taken 80 years or just 8 months ago, any photo which tells a story is welcome. The History Channel seeks photos that help mark a moment, a period or an event in history – photos that show the changing faces of familiar local streets, the fashion trends or the customs of earlier generations.

How to participate:

Photos: Photos can be scanned or carefully re-photographed at high resolution with a digital camera.

Stories: The History Channel would like to know (in less than 400 words) about the people pictured and the background to the photograph.

Simply upload your photos and stories through historyasia.com.
