Every photograph is like a moment in the past, frozen into an open window that reveals clues to the person with the mind of a detective. Most photos have no dates or identifying information, so dating photos and extracting helpful information requires a bit of skill and art.
In this class, participants will learn to use fashion, automobiles, city landscapes and other clues to date pictures. Photos often have hidden stories that tell you more about the culture of the time.
Participants will learn about and see different types of photos from antique daguerreotypes to 35 mm slides. The archivist will also talk about how best to preserve and keep photographs alive.
Join us for an interesting class on Windows Through Time: Discovering The Past Through Photographs on Wednesday, April 11 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m in the Library classroom.
