From A Box In The Closet to a Treasured Family Heirloom: Organizing and Digitizing Your Family Photos
Photos remain at the root of Sara's love of family history. These precious glimpses into the lives of our ancestors are a treasure in their own right, and without proper care they will be lost to time. Today, Sara will provide some insight into the history of the photograph and provide strategies for organizing your own photo collections so that both current and future generations can enjoy them.
As a teenager attending a family reunion, Sara was awed by her Grandmother's collection of photos that documented the early years of her family. Inspired to know more about the people in the photos and bitten by the genealogy bug after exploring just some of the information her Grandmother had gathered over the years, Sara began her own explorations into the family tree, which has roots in Britain, Ireland, Italy, and Austria, as well as most of the United States.
