Historical Archive Resource
This resource is intended to be a library of photos charting the history of the diamond business. Personalities, events, business and social but with the emphasis on history in relation to the pioneers and the personalities who have shaped this great industry of ours. Indians, Americans, Israelis, Belgians, all those who made contributions in the industry in the formative years, particularly in relation to the trade and industry.
We have collected some fascinating early historical images, many of them courtesy of Rajen Parikh and Hans Wins and we want to build on their contributions by inviting anybody to send scans of photos with descriptions of the individuals concerned and the events portrayed. We will, of course, credit all those fully who submit photos for the archive resource and will be very grateful to receive all contributions.
Please forward all photos to nina@hgoldie.com who will acknowledge receipt and who is in charge of compiling this resource.
Kind regards
The Historical Archive
