Saving Family Mementos: Organizing Digital Albums
March 24 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The average American has over 70,000 digital images in their photo collection. We are the most documented generations in the history of the world. But all those great memories might as well not exist if we are overwhelmed with the sheer quantity of the images we each have, or if we can’t find them when we want them, or if we have only a vague idea of who some of the people are in the photos on our devices. Plus, how safe and secure are the devices that you use to keep your digital photos?
Learn how to identify and locate where your photos are stored, how to quickly eliminate duplicates and junk, and how to choose a backup system that is right for you.
Carolynn Duffy, through her business, Kinship Matters, is a genealogist and photo organizer in Washington County, with fifteen years professional experience helping to create a rich and complete legacy for clients and their family, through researching, documenting, preserving, and archiving clients’ personal histories, photos, heirlooms, and memorabilia. She knows firsthand how irreplaceable and meaningful photos can be; how important it is for them to be organized and labeled in order to keep them from becoming a pile of strangers in a box; and how critical where they are stored is to keeping them safe, accessible, and preserved for now and future generations. She also knows what it’s like to inherit objects that family referred to as “heirlooms,” but to have no idea of the meaning behind the memento.
