A Dozen Boxes, Eight Decades

As many of you know, I've been sorting through my cousin's photos, papers and books. I had no idea how much she saved (I thought I was the paper obsessed one in the family!) Here is just a small sample of what I've been finding. My cousin is in the graduation garb (maybe around the mid 1940s) Thanks for stopping by today - I'm sure you'll be seeing more of the family photos!
This is so reminiscent of the things I found as I was going through my fathers house just a few short months ago. It is amazing to find all these treasures. I don't envy you the chore because it's a lot of stuff to go through but it will be so rewarding for you

@grammyn Yes, Katy. It's been a bit of a mess, but so interesting. Fortunately, I was not the relative who inherited the house, so what I'm having to go through is nothing compared to another cousin - he and his wife have spent months working on it!

Fantastic picture.

Are you scanning these into your computer as you go? Time consuming but a nice way to be able to share the pictures with your family. I've made two books this way - now if I just knew who all the people were!

Cool image. I like seeing them stacked like that.

@milaniet I haven't gotten that far yet, but it's a great idea. I'm hoping to take some home to my mom to see if she knows who is in some of the really vintage photos. Thanks for stopping by!

Photographing these photos inside the box definitely exemplifies what you're involved with these days.

I can see some family resemblance in there. It's fun to look at old photos and reminisce.

An unenviable task

Nice memories. Lin I got your postcard today. Thanks very much - I hadn't realised I was paired up with you!

Sounds like a big job but hopefully an interesting one

@suesouthwood Yay - You received it quicker than I thought! It was great fun putting them together - hope to do it again!
