What do you do with a box full of old photos?

We all have albums and boxes of photos passed down to us: and they often just sit there, untouched, for years. You know, as the keeper of the family heirlooms, it's your responsibility to go through them: but you are overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

Struggling to identify the story behind the photo?

Have you ever looked at your old photos and had no idea what's going on? It can be so frustrating. There's no captions or inscriptions on the back, and you're left wondering, "Who's that person? Where are they? What was the date?" You just move on to the next one.

How do you best organise them to share with others?

Photos were not made to live in a drawer, but getting them organised is a big challenge. How can you preserve the story they tell? How can you best share them with others? How do you navigate technology while trying to get them digitised?

Learn the simple steps that will guide you to through sorting out your old photos. You will be surprised how easy it is once you know how.
