I don't know, but I would guess everything disappears. It is possible if they were a well-established firm, that their records might be in a record office. If you are hoping to identify your relatives by contacting the original photo company, I would guess that is a slim chance, but good luck! How do you know, if you can't identify them that they are relatives, as opposed to family friends? nell

Anyone know of, or know how to trace etc. "LAURENCE STUDIOS" originally they had several branches throughout England. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THESE COMPANIES FINISH? THANKS DEBORAH
