Scanning Update

After last night's batch of scanning photos I thought I'd post a tally of my progress so far... 377 scans! Some of these are scans of documents, or the back of a photo that has a lot of writing on it, but that is still well over 300 photos. And that barely makes a dent in the pile.

I've been sorting the photos I scan as I go, using archival (acid-free and lignin-free) file folders, with acid-free paper separating each photo so they do not fade. These are then labelled and filed in small, easy to manage paper storage boxes which are about half the size of standard banker boxes.

Here are a few of the results! In the upper left is my grandmother Margaret (Green) Livingstone, her younger brother Harold and her father Ralph. In the upper right is my great-great-great-grandmother Harriet (Shuler) Redmond. Below is my great-grandmother, Laura (Smith) Livingstone, with three of her children: Mae, Laura, and Jack, my grandfather.
