A TEAM of volunteers has been discovering where Furness visitors of the past sent their "wish you were here" postcards.
The work was highlighted by project manager Julia Parks at a celebration event at Signal Films for the first stage in a National Lottery-funded project.
It is based on an archive of 15,000 negatives and images created by Barrow father and son team Edward and Raymond Sankey.
She said: "We think it is the only collection of its size and breadth to survive in Cumbria
Next year it is hoped that additional lottery funds will preserve and catalogue the images from the 1890s to the 1970s and allow much more research work.
A study of 100 Sankey postcards found examples sent from Cumbria to Germany, Sweden, France and Latvia.
