About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Nicola Chiulli: 1937

My grandfather Nicola Chiulli lived in Rockaway from 1929 to 1941, when he died in Rockaway Beach Hospital. He was a gardener and lived at 129 Beach Street. The photo is from about 1937, taken by Feiner Studio in Rockaway. I never knew my grandfather; if anyone knew him or has any information about him, please contact me.
Thanks in advance and best regards. Nicola Chiulli MD, Italy.
