Does your archive contain any photos from the forced labor camps? I read a book by one POW, that was released after his death. Naturally the POW's themselves didn't bring any photos back, so the photos are only of prisoner exchanges.

Sorry,I didnt understand your question.You asking me:
1)About pictures of finnish POWs pictured directly in the detention camps?
2)About pictures of finnish POWs who voluntarily(or not) worked on some civilian or connected to military sites during the duration of war?
3)About pictures of finnish citizens detained during the duration of war and worked for support themselves?
Also,what time frame you interested in?
About the 1),I actualy have some pictures made by swedish representatives for the Red Cross,photographed circa 1944 in detention camp near Petrozavodsk.

I also found this photo wich seems to me connected to the topic

Didnt found much.This is the only photo thats usually captioned as finns working on the restoration of Petrozavodsk.The quality isnt very good,of course,so its hard to tell.If I find anything more on the topic,I will definitely post it.
