A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Collecting, Identifying, Preserving, and Sharing Your Family Photographs and Videos

Not sure what to do with that box of old photographs under the bed or those grainy VHS tapes behind the TV?  Family photographs and videos present unique challenges to the family historian.  While these materials can provide additional information about the lives of our ancestors and open a window on the past, they can also be difficult to organize, challenging to preserve, and nearly impossible to identify.

Atlanta History Center's Archivist Sue VerHoef teaches attendees to work with these visual souvenirs of days gone by in this afternoon program at the History Center's Kenan G. Research Center.
