<p>[QUOTE=&quot;elarnia, post: 6929, member: 159&quot;]Pat - If you have no family members to pass them on to, think of local genealogical and historical societies, either where you are or where your family is from.&nbsp; As much as possible identify dates for them.&nbsp; Just think of what we do here - trying to date objects and paintings and such.&nbsp; Having a photo that says &quot;mom &amp; dad honeymoon 1948&quot; on a photo of an old inn in France could help someone in the future tell when the building was remodeled, or even torn down (perhaps silencing the local troll who insists &quot;the germans blew that up in WWII&quot;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":punch:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)&nbsp; Photos of events help us date images by types of clothing, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Names of people are important - perhaps someone will get interested in your family in a generation or two - but other details make photos useful for lots of reasons.&nbsp; And if the historical society is so swamped or short-sighted as to pitch them - well - you won&#039;t know about it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
