For folks who wish to give copies of heirloom photographs to historical societies, here are two quick & easy methods: 1. Hummels Office Supply in Herkimer has a photocoping machine which makes color copies. Folks use it to copy fliers, office presentations or (in my case) photographs -- black & white or color. An 8 x 10 copy (or enlargement) only cost $1. (The copy is made on regular paper) When the copy is put inside a picture frame, one can't tell the difference unless one is inches from the picture. I guess most office supply stores have this type of copier these days. 2. The Super K-Mart in Kingston, NY, & I guess most photography shops, has a computer scanner. This machine can copy a photograph (same size or enlarge upto 8 x 10) onto actual photography paper. This cost about $8 for an 8 x 10 copy. The main draw for this option is this type of copy takes a better picture than the copy made on everyday paper. As a result; on has the original photo- graph, the $8 photopaper copy, the 35 mm photograph of a photograph, & most importantly a negative of an heirloom picture. (I imagine scanners for home computers can do the same job as a scanner at a photography shop.) As for unlabeled pictures, I have some of those too. A kind person from one of the lists referred me to a person who should be able to help me with one of my lines. Should this prove fruitful, I plan to use method #1 to copy the photos & ask if this person might be able to identify any of them. (This person & I share a line, if not a common ancestor, & he might have labeled photographs of the same people.) It's definately a long shot, but it's one worth taking.
