Jayne Shrimpton's complete guide to dating, analysing and
understanding family photographs is essential reading and reference
for anyone undertaking genealogical and local history research.
Using over 150 old photographs as examples, she shows how such
images can give a direct insight into the past and into the lives
of the individuals who are portrayed in them. Almost every family
and local historian works with photographs, but often the
fascinating historical and personal information that can be gained
from them is not fully understood. They are one of the most vivid
and memorable ways into the past. This concise but comprehensive
guide describes the various types of photograph and explains how
they can be dated. It analyses what the clothes and style of dress
can tell us about the people in the photographs, their
circumstances and background. Sections look at photographs of
special occasions - baptisms, weddings, funerals - and at
photographs taken in wartime, on holiday and at work. There is
advice on how to identify the individuals shown and how to find
more family photographs through personal connections, archives and
the internet - and how to preserve them for future generations.
Jayne Shrimpton's handbook is an authoritative, accessible guide to
old photographs that no family or local historian can be without.
