A lost photo album containing dozens of treasured memories has been miraculously reunited with the son of one of its pictured people.
Margaret Suda found an old photo album in a store room at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital where she works in Sydney.
She posted photos of the album to social media on Thursday in an attempt to track down its rightful owner after ‘exhausting [her] limited investigative skills’.

Full of family photos, the album’s contents were mostly glued down, and all but one of the photos that had come loose had no captions or names on the back.
She said the most recent date on the photos was in the 1960s.
All she had to go on was the photos themselves and two names written on the back of a photo of a pair of children, Jemima and Heather Moffatt.
Ms Suda posted photos to Facebook group ‘Lost Sydney’, asking for suggestions on how to find the owners
She said she was inundated with suggestions and information from people who took up the case of the missing album
Ms Suda told Daily Mail Australia she managed to track down Heather’s son Christopher McRae through Facebook.
‘I found the album and did some rudimentary searches in our system… but the photos were of such an amazing history I felt it was important to at least try to find out more.
‘I still have no idea how it ended up in our department.’
