A New Life for Old Photos: Identifying, Organizing, and Restoring Photos

A New Life for Old Photos: Identifying, Organizing, and Restoring Photos

Interested in searching for your ancestors? Join us on the 2nd Thursday of each month for our All Things Relative: Finding Family at the Library, as we explore a different genealogy topic with Historian and Librarian Kathy Nielsen. This month’s topic will be A New Life for Old Photos: Identifying, Organizing, and Restoring Photos. Photos capture our stories and those of family and friends who lived before us. They give insights into the world of our ancestors. But our photo collection can be overwhelming. Many of us have hundreds if not thousands of photos, and most are decades old. So where do we start? Join Kathy Nielsen as she shares tips on identifying, organizing and restoring old photos. She will introduce you to Restore, a new and easy photo editing application. Don’t give up on your precious memories. There is hope.

Kathy Nielsen: Kathy Nielsen is a reference librarian and an educator. She is currently a popular genealogy speaker on the Monterey Peninsula. She has been featured on Lisa Louise Cooke’s weekly YouTube program, Elevenses. She is a co-founder of the Monterey County Genealogy Society’s special interest writing group, Off the Charts. Kathy incorporates her skills as a historian, storyteller, and librarian in her search for her family’s history.
