so you have a massive pile of
photographs? WHAT DO YOU
DO?
by Pete Jenkins, Detail Photography
Family photograph
taken in the 1920s,
originally handprinted,
scanned
and restored
So you have this huge pile of photos, what next? Probably
the most important thing is to establish your objectives
with regards to the photo collection
Being able to access your photographs
For most people this is the overall requirement.
Hundreds of photographs in a box won’t get looked at
from one year to the next, however if the photos are
scanned (made into digital files) the whole family have a
chance to access them – even if it is simply to get their
own copy of prints.
Distribution
Hard copy photographs are difficult to share, especially
if they are the only one left in existence. Once you have a
digital copy every family member can have a copy.
Repairing Damaged Prints
With a decent scan of a damaged or problem image it is
possible to fix whatever is wrong, even issues that have
been part of the original print.
Preserving Originals
Once scanned, original prints can be safely stored,
perhaps even indexed.
A Family History
Having a collection of accessible images can bring a
family closer together and increase the interest of newer
generations in those of the past. The digitised images
are easy to incorporate into family trees for instance.
Books and prints
Digital images can easily be incorporated into photo
books, and copy prints made
