Archivists
Here are the people who have helped make Dead Fred what it is today. From Joe's passion for old photos, to Eric and Amanda's technical and creative imaginations, to Claire and Jeannette's words and research. Not so much founders or owners, but rather known as the Archivists at DeadFred.com.
