[or-roots] old photos

[Kith-n-Kin]

Once you have scanned the photos, you can make as many copies as you want. Matter of fact, you can make a
cd, take it to your photo place and have them make high quality copies. I've only done this with the major
ancestors, not all the photos I have. These are better than what you print from your printer (unless you
have a realllly good printer), because the process they use is a photographic process, not an ink process.
The photos should last as long or longer than the originals have.  These copies you can do anything you
want with.

You might make two books, one with the originals, a cd with tif files, one good copy, and one paper copy
with notations.  Put this "real" originals book  in your safe-deposit box for future
anthropologists/genealogists. The other book, with copies and copies with annotations, and cd you can keep
by your side to use as a reference.

One thing I did was to take the photo albums and make a scan of each page, in order. Since many weren't
identified, the order of the photos provides clues -- the page with young fellow between two pages of
girls you know may mean he is the brother.  Once you have these out of the album, you may not remember to
put them back in the correct order.

Good luck,

Pat

A -- no paste
B -- Scan everyone to a file and name them accordingly
C -- put several smaller ones on the scanner at once, make a copy and then notate the copy. D -- Mylar
sleeves - I like the ones with three holes E -- punch the printed copies, place next to the sleeves with
the same photos. Don't put the copies in the sleeves with the photos. F -- Make an index of all.

By the way! Congratulations. Maybe someday I'll get there.

OK, so I am trying really hard to get organized.  I just went through a dozen on photo albums and took out
the ones I wanted to keep.  My question is the best way to keep them.

So far I have seperated them by each person.  Fortunately the ones with two ancestors seem to also have at
least 2 copies.  So now i have a bunch of pictures in big 9 X 12 envelopes.

What is the best way to file these?  I figure I will be putting them into protective sheeting of some
kind.  Do I paste the smaller ones onto a 8 1/2 X 11 piece of paper with annotations?

help !!!!
