Excellent book for learning about Vintage photos and their care

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

Would recommend this book if you have an extensive collection of Vintage photos - or even newer ones. I have pictures from tintypes to Carte Postales to black and white to modern color. All need to be preserved for future generations, and I'm the one who can identify them. Her recommendations made sense, and I liked how she also suggested alternatives. I may have been written in the last decade, but most of my pictures were taken long before that. Categorizing ideas were good also.

Preserving Your Family Photographs: How to Organize, Present, & Restore....

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

I own a 60" long by 10"high photograph of WW1 soldiers somewhere in or near Lima, Ohio. This was my Grandfather Reynolds' picture (my Mother's Father). There are some signatures on the back. My Grandpa and my Mom were immaculate in caring for things and I am really dumbfounded at the condition of this beautiful piece. I am working to restore it which is why I choose this book. For this project, this book has not helped me, BUT, I have lots more to do and am looking forward to using this book a lot! I feel strongly it will be a great help in the immediate future for me.

Excellent for do-it-yourself photo preservation

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2002

For me, studying old photos is one of the more fascinating aspects of family research, even when I'm not related to any of the people whose faces appear. The military uniforms, hats, parlor furniture, automobiles, urban scenes, and especially the faces and their expressions, are like a kind of time travel, allowing you to peer back into someone's past. Taylor's previous book, _Uncovering Your Ancestry Through Family Photographs,_ investigated that process. But how to protect the photos you already have tucked away in albums have so future family members will get the same pleasure (and information) from them? And how to rehabilitate those you discover to whom the years and the elements have not been kind? This time, the author outlines the steps you can take to see that your photographs have the best chance of survival and describes the methods conservators and restoration experts follow when the task becomes too much for you. She also guides you through the process of creating a meaningful scrapbook of archival quality, discusses the use of computer enhancement and electronic archives, and points out the legal aspects of posting photographs on a web site. Most of the chapters end with checklists and answers to frequently-asked questions, and there are many sidebars and brief marginal comments regarding further reading and useful Internet resources on the subject. Keeping in mind that the technical aspects of photographic restoration and preservation continue to evolve rapidly, this is an excellent beginner's guide and reference handbook.
