Abstract: This article aims to make a connection between the photos found during the field research in the Câmpulung Moldovenesc area and the traditional costume. Family photos are an important source of information because of the consistency with which family members were taken at different important moments in their lives. Since the end of the 19th century we have a constant window into the past which provides information on the evolution of the traditional costume and its identity marks.
Keywords: traditional costume, traditional family photos, traditional identity marks, Câmpulung Moldovenesc area.
