This is our annual joint meeting with the Oakland County Genealogical Society. This joint meeting will only be available as a webinar. The presenter will join us virtually from the Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, IN.
Identifying Types of Historic Photographs and the People in Them
Have a box of old family photos but aren’t sure when they were taken—or who’s in them? In this program, you’ll learn how to identify common 19th and early 20th century photograph types, from daguerreotypes to cabinet cards, and resources to help you along the way. We’ll also explore practical strategies for identifying the people in your images, using details like clothing, studio imprints, and family context.
