    About this ebook

    Have you ever found old family photographs, looked at them and felt totally lost concerning who the people are that are shown in them? Maybe you have an inherited old family album with no notes, no names, no dates, nothing to even begin to give you a hint of what you are holding in your hands. You don’t know who the people are, the year or years or where they were taken at. One or some of the photos may appear to be a special days but you have no idea what the events were.

    As you begin to unravel the mysteries you hold, also think about the photographs that your parents and you have and will take, and begin documenting in a permanent way so information is not lost or lost again.

    This book will show you how to document photographs and allow you to keep information with the photographs, but yet not alter the originals. Preservation and no damage are key factors.

    This book does include photograph samples to guide and also give you ideas.

    Author

    D. M. Kalten

    Having raised a dyslexic son, I did a lot of searching for things that he enjoyed listening to as he would try to follow along as I read to him. Most were historic items that helped teach him history with stories about dogs being his favorite. The historic words did make him think along with helping him retain the spellings and meanings of many words, plus I would explain situations with the stories. Those collections, that took years to build, are now going into book forms.
