“From a Box in the Closet to a Treasured Family Heirloom: Organizing and Digitizing your Family Photos”
Presented by: Sara Cochran
Have you been thinking about digitizing your family photos, but don’t know where to begin? Join us as genealogist Sara Cochran guides us through the steps of a successful digitization project. After a brief history of photography, she will review organizing techniques, using a family timeline and other photo identification tips, digitization basics and services, and ideas for creating family heirlooms and gifts.
About the speaker: Sara Cochran holds a degree in Library Science/Liberal Arts and a Certificate of Genealogical Research from Boston University, and is a graduate of the Professional Genealogy Study Group certificate program. After nearly 25 years researching her own family tree, which has roots in Britain, Ireland, Italy, and Austria, as well as most of the United States, she began helping others learn about their own family history and preserve their photographic legacy. Currently, she is also the Registrar of the Aurantia Chapter, D.A.R., and the Treasurer of the Southern California Chapter of Association of Professional Genealogists.
