Hello All, I'm new to the list and have enjoyed browsing the archives for past subjects. One that I'm sure has been covered but I haven't found yet is proper labeling of old photos. My gr-grand uncle passed recently and his step-children were kind enough to call and ask if I wanted his old pictures. I went this weekend to pick them up and learned that some of the 'good' ones that I really wished for are being kept for a cousin of mine, but the family let me borrow them to scan. Since they are the step-children, they don't know the identity or dates of many of the photos while I do. In exchange for me borrowing them, they ask that I identify who is in the photos so they are labeled when I return them. What is the best method for labeling photos dated 1920 to present time without damage arising from this in the future? How many times have I seen photos labeled with pen that then leaks to the photo behind it, or labeld with pencil that is now faded and hard to read. Thanks in advanced, Rene' DH Bartolome -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Email.com http://www.email.com/?sr=signup
