Hi all,

I am doing some research into the collection of football photos at the State Library of Victoria by photographer Charles Boyles.

The collection was submitted to the library but many photos remain unidentified. I was wondering if anyone can help me work out who some of the players are.

It's a Collingwood supporters only bulletin board, but you have to be a member to post there.

My advice would be to send a copy of the pics to the club, they would have someone on their staff who specializes in the history of our great club and would be glad to help I'd reckon.

Other wise take a look through the plethora of Collingwood books written over the years, maybe one of those players above are pictured (and identified) in them.

Perhaps Glenn McFarlane might know?

I think I read ages ago that he was the official club historian. He's written books about Collingwood's history so he knows a lot.

He's a Herald Sun journo - there should be a way to email him on their website. @MaccaHeraldSun seems to be his twitter account.
