Old Photos

by

Hello!
I’m sure part of your genealogical research has involved going through lots of old photos-many of people you may not recognize, and naturally, there’s nothing written on the back. It is so important to label all your photos for future generations. Some online photo services allow you to add custom wording to the back of each photo you order. For example, my wedding snapshots have the names of the people in them and “Walsh Wedding 6-23-07″. If you’ve got prints from a film camera, you can use a simple roller ball or ball point pen, but use a light hand so it doesn’t damage the photo. Keep them in an acid free album or storage box. I actually have some framed and displayed in my home, but I keep them away from direct sunlight and have back up copies stored safely away. In a future article I’ll discuss how to figure out when a photo was taken!
