HISTORIC photographs of Barnsley have been uploaded to the Tasker Trust website and are now available for the public to see.
There are more than 5,000 never-seen-before photos which can be viewed on the site, which allows people to search for relatives and specific streets, areas or professions.
Raymond Walker, a trustee of the Tasker Trust, said: "Most of them will never have been seen. The only ones which have been seen before are the ones in the Barnsley Streets books.
"There are some of Mr Tasker's which were not used in the books and we've had other collections given to us by other photographers."
The photos have been scanned, captioned and can be searched using key words such as names, street names or the photographer's name.
Some of them date back to the 1800s and were copied in 2000.
"We hope people will want to look at them," added Raymond. "The idea is that people will use them to look for their relatives.
"There must be lots of people who live abroad and people who want to see what the town used to be like."
Ted Tasker, who died in 1989 aged 79, recorded the redevelopment of Barnsley in the 1960s. His wife, Mary, founded the Tasker Trust in 1992.
Mary, who died aged 95 in March 2011, left a £600,000 estate to Barnsley Hospital. She was not treated in the hospital and it's unknown why it was chosen as beneficiary of the couple's entire estate, but the money was used to buy a second CT scanner for the hospital's imaging department.
