Today’s program was one of those epic episodes that will become a reference to you in the weeks and months to come—as the perfect complement, Kathy Stone added a long list of resources to include here in the notes.

After Kathy’s core presentation, she opened up the discussion. Emily Hanson stepped up to share a delightful example of a family mystery photo and was gracious enough to allow us to share it here.

Since we were having such a good time exploring old photos with our new skills, Emily followed up with another example of a family photo including a border. What does this border tell us about the probable date for the image? And the dog, what breed?
