Fortunately there are plenty of 100-year-old tripods available online for this project. However, finding just the right period clothing to wear on the job might be a problem.

FWIW I was commisioned to undertake a similar project some years ago. I shot the same views on a small format digital camera since the original images were relatively small and there was no absolute reason not to shoot them on digital, or so I thought, as they were for an organisation which would display them alonside the originals (also digitised) to illustrate changes. Onr thing I did find was that many postcards showing buildings had been corrected in camera and would have required the use of a shift lens on the smaller format digital. This also suggested to me that the postcards were originally shot on larger format camers potentially placed to enable postcard sized crops.
