PRESERVING YOUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS. DVDPRESERVING YOUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS. How to organize, present, and restore precious family images. Maureen A. Taylor. DVD, 2009.
EVERY FAMILY PHOTO COLLECTION has a story to tell and is worth saving. Formal portraits and candid snapshots capture important family events and reveal family history and relationships. But what's the best and safest way to preserve the photos your family has taken and passed down over the years? Photo technology has evolved continually since the appearance of the daguerreotype in 1839. Your collection may include images on thin metal sheets, paper, transparent slides, and computer screens. The pictures may be in shades of black, brown, or full color. It's likely that many are damaged or that their subjects are not identified. How can you enjoy these artifacts of the past and preserve them for future generations? In Preserving Your Family Photographs, genealogist and Photo Detective Maureen Taylor shares her extensive expertise in photo preservation and display techniques. Through the beautiful sample photos on this DVD, you will learn how to care for family photos, identify different types of damage, learn basic conservation techniques, purchase proper storage materials, and organize your family photo archive and safely display it for all to see! A frequent lecturer at genealogical conferences and workshops across the country on the subject of photograph identification, organization and preservation, Maureen Taylor has been featured on the "Today Show" and in the Wall Street Journal. She is the author of numerous books, including Capturing Memories: Your Family Story in Photographs and Fashionable Folks Hairstyles 1840-1900. MAT-DVD-0002 |
