Old Family Photos

Do you have a box or album filled with of old family photos? Are they tucked in a drawer or resting on a shelf in a closet collecting dust? Are they labeled? Do you know the family members pictured and their stories?

Your photos are priceless windows into your family history. Preserving these images and the stories behind them will ensure future your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will know their history.

Below are a few ways you can preserve your photos…

Digital Photo Album

Old photographs are irreplaceable if lost or damaged. Make sure your family photos stay meaningful for generations by scanning and labeling them. When labeling, be sure to include the full names (not just ‘grandma’) of the people pictured, dates and events or locations. Upload the files to heirloom quality flash-drives and give one to every family member.

Family Website

A Family Website is a great way to stay connected and to share photos. Start by asking family members to upload the photos in their possession and to add stories and memories of the people and events pictured. Give everyone access to the website so they can not only learn about the family history but can also add their own photos, stories and comments.

Family History Book

Bring your family photos and history together in family history book. There are many services that will help you self-publish by providing templates and assistance. Whether designed as a beautiful coffee table book or a more informal journal, the finished book is certain to be treasured for generations to come.

Family History Video

Preserve your family stories, history and photos in a Family History Video.. A Family History Video or Family Legacy Video weaves a filmed interview with one or more family members, together with family photos. You can either do it yourself or hire a professional.
