Include as much historical information that is known, with your pictures and stories to make your family history as complete as possible. Don't forget to include any oral history, traditions or stories too.

Saving Photos, and Documents of Your Family and Events
This is important to repeat. Never write on the back of pictures! Don’t use paper clips or fasteners on photographs. The emulsion (picture side) of old photographs is easy to damage. Pencil notations on the back of the pictures in the margin areas are best, because iInk on the back can soak through, smear, or mar other pictures it contacts. Do attach a Post-It™ sticker to temporarily identify the people, places and dates as best known. Copies of copies never look good, so save original pictures for reproduction whenever possible.

Include names of the people in the photo. Identify them from left to right and and which row they are in whether it is first, front, middle, back or top.

Give the date or an approximate date that the photo was taken and by whom if known..
