WorthPoint Corporation has purchased the assets of HistoryInPhotographs.com (HIP), a digital repository and e-commerce site for more than 50,000 historic photographic images of American life dating from the 1860s. The company was founded by WorthPoint CEO Will Seippel in 2017 and includes his 40-year collection of photographic negatives.
Seippel started assembling his collection in the 1980s. It is full of historic black and white images of American life, ranging from the most iconic moments in U.S. history to the little-known, largely unseen instances of ordinary life. The images were acquired by Seippel in negative form through estate sales and auctions, often in unmarked lots and boxes, then hand-picked for cleaning and research.
