Lest one think we are well organized….We have an impressive run of photographs here, slowly being digitized*, however; it is not well labelled.  Actually, it really is mostly unlabeled.**  Now, family members can usually be sorted out, there are enough pictures connected to enough other information that patterns can be combined with elimination with some level of success.  Visitors and such are a headache but marginally possible, in theory.  The impossible ones are those one-time photos at a special event.

This photo is an example of that, taken in 1911 at what appears to be a school graduation (unknown).  Who is it? Clearly, someone important to the photographer (also an unknown).  I must admire the clothing though, and the parasol, and the gloves, and the fan, and all that white lace on the cuffs and the neckline! In summer.  Can you imagine the work?

*funnily enough the current gaps in the digital record are from the late 1800’s, prints and glass negatives, and the late 1900’s, also prints.  The majority of the 1905-1930’s negatives have been scanned and after that slide film was used into the 1980’s, which has all been digitized.  Post 2000, most of the print film was also on CD’s, and then shortly thereafter we went completely digital.

** Yes, that is a hint for some help with keywords…
