  We were going to download our blog to put in a booklet, but found that all the picture links for 2014 were broken. Is there some way that WordPress can restore these?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you are hotlinking to images on other sites the answer is no.
  If you deleted images from your Media Library then they are no longer on wordpress.COM servers and again the answer is no.

  I’m sorry but there is no “restore” feature for blogs. There is no way for Staff to restore images that you deleted from your Media Library because when you did that you removed them from the servers. You have to upload each one again. https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/omg-my-images-are-gone/

  You may be able to locate the deleted images in Google’s image cache and capture them there so you can upload them again if you do not have copies on your computer or elsewhere https://www.google.com/search?q=google+image+search&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIyZq1noG2yAIVVCmICh1chwGi&biw=1024&bih=641#tbm=isch&q=http:%2F%2Flbhjvh14.org%2F
