This series, featuring Kathy Stone of Calgary Photo Solutions, builds on the 8-part series of programs Projectkin members can explore here and posts you’ll find here on Projectkin, “8 Steps to Take You from Tubs of Photos to Tales of Yore.”
We’re currently sorting through a Substack issue affecting the searchable transcript of this recording ☝️ above. This issue is affecting some but not all recording transcripts and has been reported. You’ll find transcripts for the 2023 recordings accompanying this article. Thanks for your patience.
During today’s session, Kathy started out with a useful tip to consider organizing your prints by size before you start scanning, and to think about the stories in each picture. She gave a series of examples of prompts to get you started telling the stories.
Resources shared in chat included:
* Tuesday Tutorial on using Metadata in Family History
* Karen Ray Projectkin member and memoir coach at Remembering the Time for her techniques for talking about the stories behind objects.
* Martie McNabb who hosts a fun series of programs under the name Show & Tales. She was also a guest in an interview series Barbara Tien did as Ponga called “Storyteller & the Photo” with Martie McNabb.
* Kathy Stone was also interviewed for the same series “Storyteller & the Photo with Kathy Stone.” 😉
* Along the way, we also mentioned tips for using Substack. Join Projectkin in a new stack dedicated to helping Family Historians and Genealogists make the most of Substack at Mission: Genealogy.
* Learn more in the video, in the blog post above, or in the chat transcript below.
