Every conscientious scientist should strive to reproduce the details of the studied concept as accurately as possible. Historians have an extremely difficult task in this regard. Most frequently they only work with silent documents. It is worse if the analyzed materials are not described or at least dated. It happens that, despite most sencere intentions, historical exploration then encounters objective limitations, and only a coincidence causes that strenuous and meticulous work is awarded. It happened in the case presented in the article: “Wedding photographs of Władysław and Ludwika Trzciński, and Barbara and Maciej Ludwik Weiner – the role of a historian’s workshop in dating photography” („Fotografie ślubne Władysława i Ludwiki Trzcińskich oraz Barbary i Macieja Ludwika Weinerów – rola warsztatu historyka w datowaniu fotografii”). The main purpose of this study is presenting the range of processes and activities conducted during the research concerning the identification of people from two historical photographs kept in the collections of Kulmerland Museum (Muzeum Ziemii Chełmińskiej) under one reference number (MZCH/D/1550/1-2). The authors of the article presented the whole research process from the source query and archival materials analysis to finding the graves and sons of the Trzciński and the Weiner families with whom interviews were carried and the final identifiction of the photographs was made. The remotely provided help of a large number of people has proved to be extremely crucial, which deserves a special emphasis regarding the complete lack of access to archives and libraries in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. The authors were also guided by the idea of making young scientists aware of the role of personal inquisitiveness, improving the workshop and constantly expanding the knowledge on the owned sources and confronting their content with other available source materials. Apart from the methodological value, the elaboration has also got a certain substantial value. Thanks to the successful identification of the people presented in both photographs, research was initiated, whose effect was the recollection of the figures of two officers of pre-war promotions. From the point of view of the area of interest in the Chełmno museum, it also seems invaluable to establish the facts about the lives of their spouses, two graduates of the Women Secondary School (Gimnazjum Żeńskie) and the Central Institute for Physical Exercise (Centralny Instytut Wychowania Fizycznego) in Warsaw. The discussed biographies of the spouses of the Trzciński and the Weiner families also fit into the image of the involvement of Poles in the fight against the German occupier.
