This book was written and organized specifically to guide families step by step in building skills that will help them better organize their family photo collections, preserve fading family memories well into the future, and to describe ways to more fully share these treasured family photo images with extended family and friends. Many families have accumulated family photo collections that include a combination of several photo albums, containers of loose prints, boxes of 35mm slides, and increasing megabytes of digital files. With an understanding of some basic concepts and skills, every family can make meaningful progress toward preserving their special family memories.
