HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

Pre-recorded reel-to-reel tapes (and 8mm movies) were packaged in thin cardboard boxes like those. My grandfather had a few.

Maybe you were joking. Sorry.

Edit: In fact if you search Ebay for "reel to reel album" there are tons of listings with pictures.
