At last, I have time and inclination to scan the box of family photos. I was wondering if I could get some input as to what everyone is doing. Are you scanning both sides of the photo? I have some names written on some. For a few I recognize my husband's handwriting and recall that he wrote the info about 10 years ago probably when we went through the images. How are you tying the 2 sides together? with names? combining them together in one image? I've been adding the photographer's name and his location if they were taken by a professional. It seems that some history of the image or things that you may have learned might be interesting in the future. I have some photos of neighbors, that evidently became friends as they had the photos. I only figured this out from looking at the census and who lived close to them. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Is there a source that addresses how one might handle this? Jinny Angelis

A small "beware" My mother has lots of old photos with names and dates on the back She has since been through them and altered things!! So need to know original entry (and even that may not be correct) Also are names on back in order from left to right or are they 'behind' the person? Richard Croker in UK
